The trace points to a corrupt skb inside kfree_skb(), seemingly because
one of the shared skb queues is getting corrupted. Most of the skb queues
ath10k uses are local to a single call stack, but three are shared among
multiple codepaths:
- rx_msdus_q,
- rx_in_ord_compl_q, and
- tx_fetch_ind_q
Of the three, the first two are manipulated using the unlocked skb_queue
functions without any additional lock protecting them. Use the locked
variants of skb_queue_* functions to protect these manipulations.

I may have misunderstood the locking regime here, so please let me know
if so. This seems to have fixed the crash, but I don't know a reproducer
other than "wait a while and see."
