mwifiex: Don't release cmd_pending_q_lock while iterating
Just like in the previous patch ("mwifiex: Don't release tx_ba_stream_tbl_lock while iterating"), in mwifiex_cancel_all_pending_cmd() we were itearting over a list protected by a spinlock. Again, it is not safe to release the spinlock while iterating. Don't do it. Luckily in this case there should be no need to release the spinlock. This is evidenced by: 1. The only function called while the spinlock was released was mwifiex_recycle_cmd_node() 2. Aside from atomic functions (which are safe to call), the only function called by mwifiex_recycle_cmd_node() was mwifiex_insert_cmd_to_free_q(). 3. It can be seen in mwifiex_cancel_pending_scan_cmd() that it's OK to call mwifiex_insert_cmd_to_free_q() while holding a different spinlock (scan_pending_q_lock), so in general holding a spinlock should be OK. 4. It doesn't appear that mwifiex_insert_cmd_to_free_q() has any interaction with the cmd_pending_q_lock No known bugs are fixed with this change, but as with other similar changes this could fix random list corruption.
