Driver is using boolean variables to maintain vairous status information of adapter. These status variables are accessed by multiple threads and there is a possibility of a race. To avoid this, convert these variables to a set of bitops flags, to be operated atomically. Below variables of mwifiex_adapter are converted to bitop flags: surprise_removed is_cmd_timedout is_suspended is_hs_configured hs_enabling Signed-off-by: Ganapathi Bhat <redacted>
