Subject: [PATCH] ath11k: Increment pending_mgmt_tx count before tx send invoke
Git-commit: c0b0d2e87d91ce283c8766b4b3c2ec9ac90ebf96
Patch-mainline: v5.17-rc1
References: bsc#1206451

There is a race condition whereby the tx completion handler can be invoked
before the 'num_pending_mgmt_tx" count is incremented. If that occurs, we
could get warning trace indicating that 'num_pending_mgmt_tx' is 0 (because
it was not yet incremented). Ideally, this trace should be seen only if
mgmt tx has not happened but tx completion is received, and it is not
expected in this race condition.

Tested-on: QCN9074 hw1.0 PCI WLAN.HK.2.4.0.1-01386-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
