mac80211: fix fq lockdep warnings
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
Some lockdep assertions were not fulfilled and
resulted in a kernel warning/call trace if driver
used intermediate software queues (e.g. ath10k).

Existing code sequences should've guaranteed safety
but it's always good to be extra careful.

The call trace could look like this:
