[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.7 033/108] wifi: ath11k: fix race due to setting ATH11K_FLAG_EXT_IRQ_ENABLED too early

[ Upstream commit 5082b3e3027eae393a4e86874bffb4ce3f83c26e ]

We are seeing below error randomly in the case where only
one MSI vector is configured:

kernel: ath11k_pci 0000:03:00.0: wmi command 16387 timeout

The reason is, currently, in ath11k_pcic_ext_irq_enable(),
ATH11K_FLAG_EXT_IRQ_ENABLED is set before NAPI is enabled.
This results in a race condition: after
ATH11K_FLAG_EXT_IRQ_ENABLED is set but before NAPI enabled,
CE interrupt breaks in. Since IRQ is shared by CE and data
path, ath11k_pcic_ext_interrupt_handler() is also called
where we call disable_irq_nosync() to disable IRQ. Then
napi_schedule() is called but it does nothing because NAPI
is not enabled at that time, meaning
ath11k_pcic_ext_grp_napi_poll() will never run, so we have
no chance to call enable_irq() to enable IRQ back. Finally
we get above error.

Fix it by setting ATH11K_FLAG_EXT_IRQ_ENABLED after all
NAPI and IRQ work are done. With the fix, we are sure that
by the time ATH11K_FLAG_EXT_IRQ_ENABLED is set, NAPI is
enabled.

Note that the fix above also introduce some side effects:
if ath11k_pcic_ext_interrupt_handler() breaks in after NAPI
enabled but before ATH11K_FLAG_EXT_IRQ_ENABLED set, nothing
will be done by the handler this time, the work will be
postponed till the next time the IRQ fires.

Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.1 PCI WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3.6510.23
