[149913.817552] iwl_mvm_mac_wake_tx_queue+0xb5/0x114 [iwlmvm]
[149913.823256] ieee80211_queue_skb+0x2ca/0x730 [mac80211]

This can be reproduced with a single script from the station:
while true; do
wpa_cli -i wlp3s0 roam 34:13:E8:B1:DB:9A
sleep 2
wpa_cli -i wlp3s0 roam 34:13:E8:3C:FB:DB
sleep 2
done
And flooding with tx traffic.
The reason is the race condition produced in iwl_mvm_mac_wake_tx_queue when
add_stream_txqs is added to que list but only if the list is empty, because
iwl_mvm_mac_wake_tx_queue can be called concurrently. In the previous example,
it has been seen that two simultaneous executions of iwl_mvm_mac_wake_tx_queue
have progressed by adding to the list because the queue was empty at that
moment for both and the second one tried to add the same element to the list.
So protection for this operation is needed. After applying the solution, the
problem does not reproduce.
