ath9k: fix race condition in irq processing during hardware reset
To fix invalid hardware accesses, the commit 872b5d814f99 ("ath9k: do not
access hardware on IRQs during reset") made the irq handler ignore interrupts
emitted after queueing a hardware reset (which disables the IRQ). This left a
small time window for the IRQ to get re-enabled by the tasklet, which caused
IRQ storms. Instead of returning IRQ_NONE when ATH_OP_HW_RESET is set, disable
the IRQ entirely for the duration of the reset.
