with the recent changes in the tx path we got a soft lockup.
introduced by the commit 3ad2952998b08442044690fa9b4ec38c6c3fc4a9
ath_send_bar seems to later call ath9k_tx which in turn seems to
acquire the same axq_lock before calling ath_tx_start_dma
this seems to fix the softlock up with my preliminary testing.
if some one finds a flaw in this or a better fix please feel free
to resend. i will be out of station for two days.
