Subject: ath9k: fix DMA stop sequence for AR9003+

From: Felix Fietkau <[email protected]>

commit 300f77c08ded96d33f492aaa02549103852f0c12 upstream.

AR93xx and newer needs to stop rx before tx to avoid getting the DMA engine or MAC into a stuck state.
This should reduce/fix the occurence of "Failed to stop Tx DMA" logspam.
