wifi: ath11k: fix a possible dead lock caused by ab->base_lock
spin_lock()/spin_unlock() are used in ath11k_reg_chan_list_event() to acquire/release ab->base_lock. For now this is safe because that function is only called in soft IRQ context. But ath11k_reg_chan_list_event() will be called from process context in an upcoming patch, and this can result in a deadlock if ab->base_lock is acquired in process context and then soft IRQ occurs on the same CPU and tries to acquire that lock. Fix it by using spin_lock_bh() and spin_unlock_bh() instead.
