In the environment with heavy wifi traffic, set the ar9271 into
monitor mode, will trigger a deadloop panic.
 
The ath9k_hif_usb_rx_cb function excute on  the interrupt context, and ath9k_rx_tasklet excute
on the soft irq context. In other words, the ath9k_hif_usb_rx_cb have more chance to excute than
ath9k_rx_tasklet.  So in the worst condition,  the rx.rxbuf receive list is always full,
and the do {}while(true) loop will not be break. The kernel get a soft lockup panic. 

Word wrapping is too long and please prefix the title with "ath9k_htc: ".
