[ Upstream commit f4e6064c97c050bd9904925ff7d53d0c9954fc7b ]
The qca_spi driver stop and restart the SPI kernel thread (via ndo_stop & ndo_open) in case of TX ring changes. This is a big issue because it allows userspace to prevent restart of the SPI kernel thread (via signals). A subsequent change of TX ring wrongly assume a valid spi_thread pointer which result in a crash.
So prevent this by stopping the network traffic handling and temporary park the SPI thread.
