[PATCH v2] ath10k: Fix crash during card removal

From: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed at qti.qualcomm.com>

Usually when the firmware crashes we check for the value
'FW_IND_EVENT_PENDING' in 'FW_INDICATOR_ADDRESS' and proceed with
disabling the irq and dumping firmware 'crash dump'. Now
when the PCI card is unplugged from the device the PCI controller
seems to generate a spurious interrupt after some time which
was as treated a firmware crash and resulting in the below race
condition (and eventually crashing the system)

	ath10k_core_unregister -> ath10k_core_free_board_files

	...... device unplug spurious interrupt .........

	ath10k_pci_taklet -> ath10k_pci_fw_crashed_dump  ...etc

Clearly even after the firmware board files related data structure
is freed up we are getting a spurious interrupt from PCI with 0xfffffff
in the 'FW_INDICATOR_ADDRESS' resulting in scheduling of the pci tasklet
and doing a crash dump, printing f/w board related info resulting in the
below crash. Fix this by detecting this spurious interrupt in ath10k PCI
irq handler itself and return IRQ_NONE. Thanks to Michal Kazior for
helping us conclude the most appropriate fix.
