Similar report for mwifiex_process_uap_tx_pause().
While the locking expectations in this driver are a bit unclear, the Fixed commit only intended to protect the sta_ptr, so we can drop the lock as soon as we're done with it.
IIUC, this deadlock cannot actually happen, because command event processing (which calls mwifiex_process_sta_tx_pause()) is sequentialized with TX packet processing (e.g., mwifiex_dequeue_tx_packet()) via the main loop (mwifiex_main_process()). But it's good not to leave this potential issue lurking.
