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 ath11k_reg_chan_list_event() will be called from process
context in an upcoming patch, 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.
