Brian Norris 38faed1504 ath10k: perform crash dump collection in workqueue 
Commit 25733c4e67 ("ath10k: pci: use mutex for diagnostic window CE
polling") introduced a regression where we try to sleep (grab a mutex)
in an atomic context:

[  233.602619] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:254

[...]

ath10k_pci_fw_crashed_dump() is called from NAPI contexts, and firmware
memory dumps are retrieved using the diag memory interface.

A simple reproduction case is to run this on QCA6174A /
WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00132-QCARMSWP-1, which happens to be a way to b0rk the
firmware:

  dd if=/sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath10k/mem_value bs=4K count=1
of=/dev/null

(NB: simulated firmware crashes, via debugfs, don't trigger firmware
dumps.)

The fix is to move the crash-dump into a workqueue context, and avoid
relying on 'data_lock' for most mutual exclusion. We only keep using it
here for protecting 'fw_crash_counter', while the rest of the coredump
buffers are protected by a new 'dump_mutex'.

I've tested the above with simulated firmware crashes (debugfs 'reset'
file), real firmware crashes (the 'dd' command above), and a variety of
reboot and suspend/resume configurations on QCA6174A.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
