Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: fix reset work check properly

Once the hw reset work is queued up and to bail out current
execution properly, use HW_RESET bit ops instead of work_pending.
As work_pending might return false when the queued work is in
execution. So it is not correct to use the work utility for
baining out.

I have one comment, though.

This is not needed, since we bail out in ath_isr().
(And interrupts are re-enabled only at the end of ath9k_tasklet()).

This is what I have now:

From: Rajkumar Manoharan <[email protected]>

Using work_pending() to defer certain operations when
a HW-reset work has been queued is racy since the check
would return false when the work item is actually in
execution. Use SC_OP_HW_RESET instead to fix this race.
Also, unify the reset debug statistics maintenance.
