Govindaraj Saminathan e44de90453 wifi: ath11k: Fix race condition with struct htt_ppdu_stats_info
A crash happens when running the traffic with multiple clients:

Crash Signature : Unable to handle kernel paging request at
virtual address ffffffd700970918 During the crash, PC points to
"ieee80211_tx_rate_update+0x30/0x68 [mac80211]"
LR points to "ath11k_dp_htt_htc_t2h_msg_handler+0x5a8/0x8a0 [ath11k]".

Struct ppdu_stats_info is allocated and accessed from event callback via copy
engine tasklet, this has a problem when freeing it from ath11k_mac_op_stop().

Use data_lock during entire ath11k_dp_htt_get_ppdu_desc() call to protect
struct htt_ppdu_stats_info access and to avoid race condition when accessing it
from ath11k_mac_op_stop().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
