wifi: iwlwifi: pull from TXQs with softirqs disabled
[ Upstream commit 96fb6f47db24a712d650b0a9b9074873f273fb0e ]
In mac80211, it's required that we pull from TXQs by calling
ieee80211_tx_dequeue() only with softirqs disabled. However,
in iwl_mvm_queue_state_change() we're often called with them
enabled, e.g. from flush if anything was flushed, triggering
a mac80211 warning.
Fix that by disabling the softirqs across the TX call.
