When the mac80211 layer is used with ath10k, the following may happen:
a) radio card firmware receives ADDBA-REQ from peer
b) radio sends back ADDBA-RESP to peer and signals the ath10k driver
c) ath10k calls back ieee80211_manage_rx_ba_offl() in mac80211
to signal rx ba offloading
d) mac80211::agg-rx.c::ieee80211_manage_rx_ba_offl()
d1) sets a flag: sta->ampdu_mlme.tid_rx_manage_offl
d2) queues a call to ht.c::ieee80211_ba_session_work()
e) ...scheduler runs...
f) ht.c::ieee80211_ba_session_work() checks the flag, clears it
and sets up the rx ba session.
During (e), a fast peer may already have sent a BAREQ which is
propagated to rx.c::ieee80211_rx_h_ctrl(). Since the session is not
yet established, mac80211 sends back a DELBA to the peer, which can
hang the BA session.
The phenomenon can be observed between two QCA988X fw 10.2.4 radios,
using a loop of associate/arping from client to AP/disconnect. After
a few thousand loops, arping does not get a response and a sniffer
detects a DELBA action frame from the client, following an ADDBA.
Fix:
1) check the offload flag in addition to the check for a valid
aggregation session
2) protect the paired checks of (offload flag, valid aggregation session)
with a spinlock against interference from ieee80211_ba_session_work().
Note 1: there is another dubious DELBA generation in
ieee80211_rx_reorder_ampdu(), where the same kind of fix should fit,
but I did not fix it since I knew no easy way to test.
Note 2: this fix was tested against a wireless backport from 5.4-rc8.

V2: remove debugging code leftovers, sorry for that
V3: use spin_lock_bh instead of a mutex
V4: spinlock must protect ___ieee80211_start_rx_ba_session instead of
___ieee80211_stop_rx_ba_session
