Status: 1000fc03        KERNEL EXL IE
Cause : 5080d400
PrId  : 00019374 (MIPS 24Kc)
        Kernel panic - not syncing: softlockup: hung tasks

The original intention of commit e3f31175a3("ath9k: fix race condition
in irq processing during hardware reset") is to avoid the IRQ storms,it
disabled the IRQ entirely for the duration of the reset, but it introducted
a new IRQ storms in handle_level_irq() when call ath9k_hw_enable_interrupts(),
meanwhile the irq is disabled by disable_irq(). Remove disable_irq/enable_irq
paire, instead of diabling tasklet to re-enable IRQ during the reset.
