ath9k: Fix a locking bug in ath9k_add_interface()
[ Upstream commit 461cf036057477805a8a391e5fd0f5264a5e56a8 ] We tried to revert commit d9c52fd17cb4 ("ath9k: fix tx99 with monitor mode interface") but accidentally missed part of the locking change. The lock has to be held earlier so that we're holding it when we do "sc->tx99_vif = vif;" and also there in the current code there is a stray unlock before we have taken the lock. Fixes: 6df0580be8bc ("ath9k: add back support for using active monitor interfaces for tx99") Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
