We're not holding the lock when we do the "goto err;" so it leads to a
double unlock.  We should hold the lock because the error path sets
"ar->state" so the right fix is to take the lock before doing the goto.

It seems moving idle_ps condition in between ath11k_wmi_pdev_lro_cfg() and mutex_unlock()
 is a better way in this case.

Thanks,
