In ath9k-htc register out path, ath9k-htc will pass skb->data into
usb hcd and usb hcd will do dma mapping and unmapping to the buffer
pointed by skb->data, so we should pass a cache-line aligned address.
This patch replace __dev_alloc_skb with alloc_skb to make skb->data
pointed to a cacheline aligned address simply since ath9k-htc does not
skb_push on the skb and pass it to mac80211, also use kfree_skb to free
the skb allocated by alloc_skb(we can use kfree_skb safely in hardirq
context since skb->destructor is NULL always in the path).

hif_usb_regout_cb() frees the given URB, which is
borked by design. Use an anchor to simplify URB
management.

The maximum number of packets in a single buffer in
stream mode is 10. The driver currently uses 8 - which
caused stack corruption, in the absence of any kind
of OOB checking.
Fixing this to the correct value of 10 fixes the module
unload issue.

RX URBs are automatically freed when the reference
count drops to zero - this currently doesn't happen when
usb_kill_anchored_urbs() is called during unload.
Fix this by dropping the reference count by one during
initial submission.

Use a spin lock to prevent concurrent access
to variables dealing with RX stream mode handling.
Currently, no protection is implemented - which
causes problems in RX.

This patch introduces the usage of URB anchors,
thus reducing a large amount of code dealing with
URB maintenance within the driver. The RX callback now
takes care of freeing the SKB associated with each URB.
