Subject: qca_debug: Prevent crash on TX ring changes

From: Stefan Wahren <wahrenst@gmx.net>

[ Upstream commit f4e6064c97c050bd9904925ff7d53d0c9954fc7b ]

The qca_spi driver stop and restart the SPI kernel thread
(via ndo_stop & ndo_open) in case of TX ring changes. This is
a big issue because it allows userspace to prevent restart of
the SPI kernel thread (via signals). A subsequent change of
TX ring wrongly assume a valid spi_thread pointer which result
in a crash.

So prevent this by stopping the network traffic handling and
temporary park the SPI thread.
