From: Baochen Qiang <quic_bqiang@quicinc.com>

spin_lock/spin_unlock are used in ath11k_reg_chan_list_event to
acquire/release ab->base_lock, for now this is safe because that
function is only called in soft IRQ context. But in an upcoming
patch ath11k_reg_chan_list_event() will be called from process
context, and this can result in a deadlock if ab->base_lock is
acquired in process context and then soft IRQ occurs on the same
CPU and tries to acquire that lock.

Fix it by using spin_lock_bh and spin_unlock_bh instead.

Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3
