From: Baochen Qiang <quic_bqiang@xxxxxxxxxxx> spin_lock/spin_unlock are used in ath11k_reg_chan_list_event to acquire/release ab->base_lock, for now this is safe because that function is only called in soft IRQ context. But in an upcoming patch ath11k_reg_chan_list_event() will be called from process context, and this can result in a deadlock if ab->base_lock is acquired in process context and then soft IRQ occurs on the same CPU and tries to acquire that lock. Fix it by using spin_lock_bh and spin_unlock_bh instead.
