Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mac80211: Serialize ieee80211_handle_wake_tx_queue()

ieee80211_handle_wake_tx_queue must not run concurrent multiple times.
It calls ieee80211_txq_schedule_start() and the drivers migrated to iTXQ
do not expect overlapping drv_tx() calls.

This fixes 'c850e31f79f0 ("wifi: mac80211: add internal handler for
wake_tx_queue")', which introduced ieee80211_handle_wake_tx_queue.
Drivers started to use it with 'a790cc3a4fad ("wifi: mac80211: add
wake_tx_queue callback to drivers")'.
But only after fixing an independent bug with
'4444bc2116ae ("wifi: mac80211: Proper mark iTXQs for resumption")'
problematic concurrent calls really happened and exposed the initial
issue.

@Thomas
Would be good when you can test that patch again.
But it would be really strange if it's not working, too...

@Johannes
Based on your last mail you prefer to hard serialize it and not use a
spin lock per AC. So I kept that part from the first patch.

This is missing the spin_lock_init() call.

This is cosmetics but the recommended way to refer to commits is:

This fixes commit c850e31f79f0 ("wifi: mac80211: add internal handler
for wake_tx_queue"), which introduced ieee80211_handle_wake_tx_queue....
