ath5k: disable tasklets during reset
Based on a patch from Bruno Randolf, attempting useful work while we are resetting the chip just leads to interface lockups and bad descriptor data, and possibly DMAing to freed buffers. Let's suspend all tasklets while reprogramming the registers in the card to avoid such problems. In the future we can convert the tasklets to threaded interrupt handlers to simplify things.
