ath10k: Detect conf_mutex held ath10k_drain_tx() calls

ath10k_drain_tx() must not be called with conf_mutex held as workers can
use that also. Add call to lockdep_assert_not_held() on conf_mutex to
detect if conf_mutex is held by the caller.

The idea for this patch stemmed from coming across the comment block
above the ath10k_drain_tx() while reviewing the conf_mutex holds during
to debug the conf_mutex lock assert in ath10k_debug_fw_stats_request().

Adding detection to assert on conf_mutex hold will help detect incorrect
usages that could lead to locking problems when async worker routines try
to call this routine.
