[PATCH] ath9k: unlock rcu read when returning early

Starting with ath9k: use ieee80211_tx_status_noskb where possible

rcu_read_unlock() yet on returning early in ath_tx_edma_tasklet() the unlock is
missing leading to stalls and suspicious RCU usage:

A fixes line and cc stable would be good to have:

Fixes: d94a461d7a7d ("ath9k: use ieee80211_tx_status_noskb where possible")
Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v4.9

I can add those.

I'm planning to push this to 4.10 but would prefer to see an ack from
Felix (the author of d94a461d7a7d) first. I added him to Cc.

Technically this is fine as well, but I'd prefer a fix where you replace
the 'return' with 'break', thus avoiding the duplication of
rcu_read_unlock()

Actually if you want to avoid it, maybe skipping over the rest is better 
(as originally intended):

...

ath_txq_unlock(sc, txq);


goto unlock;
}
...

unlock:
rcu_read_unlock();

There are already other places that skip to the rcu_read_unlock() part
by using 'break'. I don't see how adding an unnecessary goto makes
things any better.
