ath10k: perform crash dump collection in workqueue
Commit 25733c4e67df ("ath10k: pci: use mutex for diagnostic window CE
polling") introduced a regression where we try to sleep (grab a mutex)
in an atomic context:

ath10k_pci_fw_crashed_dump() is called from NAPI contexts, and firmware
memory dumps are retrieved using the diag memory interface.
A simple reproduction case is to run this on QCA6174A /
WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00132-QCARMSWP-1, which happens to be a way to b0rk the
firmware:
dd if=/sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath10k/mem_value bs=4K count=1
of=/dev/null
(NB: simulated firmware crashes, via debugfs, don't trigger firmware
dumps.)
The fix is to move the crash-dump into a workqueue context, and avoid
relying on 'data_lock' for most mutual exclusion. We only keep using it
here for protecting 'fw_crash_counter', while the rest of the coredump
buffers are protected by a new 'dump_mutex'.
I've tested the above with simulated firmware crashes (debugfs 'reset'
file), real firmware crashes (the 'dd' command above), and a variety of
reboot and suspend/resume configurations on QCA6174A.
