ath5k: fix spin_lock_irqsave/spin_lock_bh nesting in mesh
Lockdep found an inconsistent lock state when joining a mesh with
ath5k. The problem is that ath5k takes the lock for its beacon state,
ah->block, with spin_lock_irqsave(), while mesh internally takes the
sync_offset_lock with spin_lock_bh() in mesh_sync_offset_adjust_tbtt(),
which in turn is called under ah->block.
This could deadlock if the beacon tasklet was run on the processor
that held the beacon lock during the do_softirq() in spin_unlock_bh().
We probably shouldn't hold the lock around the callbacks, but the
easiest fix is to switch to spin_lock_bh for ah->block: it doesn't
need interrupts disabled anyway as the data in question is only accessed
in softirq or process context.
Fixes the following lockdep warning:
