ath9k-htc: fix lockdep warning and kernel warning after unplugging ar9271 usb device

This patch fixes two warnings below after unplugging ar9271 usb device:
	-one is a kernel warning[1]
	-another is a lockdep warning[2]

The root reason is that __skb_queue_purge can't be executed in hardirq
context, so the patch forks ath9k_skb_queue_purge(ath9k version of _skb_queue_purge),
which frees skb with dev_kfree_skb_any which can be run in hardirq
context safely, then prevent the lockdep warning and kernel warning after
unplugging ar9271 usb device.
