Revert "ath9k: fix lockdep warning when unloading module" on stable kernels

Johannes' patch 34e8950 titled:

	mac80211: allow station add/remove to sleep

changed the way mac80211 adds and removes peers. The new
sta_add() / sta_remove() callbacks allowed the driver callbacks
to sleep. Johannes also ported ath9k to use sta_add() / sta_remove()
via the patch 4ca7786 titled:

	ath9k: convert to new station add/remove callbacks

but this patch forgot to address a change in locking issue which
Ming Lei eventually found on his 2.6.33-wl #12 build. The 2.6.33-wl
build includes code for the 802.11 subsystem for 2.6.34 though so did
already have the above two patches (ath9k_sta_remove() on his trace),
the 2.6.33 kernel did not however have these two patches. Ming eventually
cured his lockdep warnign via the patch a9f042c titled:

	ath9k: fix lockdep warning when unloading module

This went in to 2.6.34 and although it was not marked as a stable
fix it did get trickled down and applied on both 2.6.33 and 2.6.32.

In review, the culprits:

	mac80211: allow station add/remove to sleep
git describe --contains 34e895075e21be3e21e71d6317440d1ee7969ad0

v2.6.34-rc1~233^2~49^2~10

	ath9k: fix lockdep warning when unloading module

This last one trickled down to 2.6.33 (OK), 2.6.33 (invalid) and 2.6.32 (invalid).

git describe --contains a9f042cbe5284f34ccff15f3084477e11b39b17b
v2.6.34-rc2~48^2~77^2~7

git describe --contains 0dcc9985f34aef3c60bffab3dfc7f7ba3748f35a
v2.6.32.11~79

The patch titled "ath9k: fix lockdep warning when unloading module"
should be reverted on both 2.6.33 and 2.6.32 as it is invalid and
actually ended up causing the following warning:

ath9k 0000:16:00.0: PCI INT A disabled

The original lockdep fixed an issue where due to the new changes
the driver was not disabling the bottom halves but it is incorrect
to do this on the older kernels since IRQs are already disabled.
