Because wake_work and sdio->stat_work share the same workqueue mt76->wq,
if sdio->stat_work cannot acquire the mutex lock such as that was possibly
held up by mt7921_mutex_acquire, we should exit immediately and schedule
another stat_work to avoid blocking the mt7921_mutex_acquire.

Also, if mt7921_mutex_acquire was called by sdio->stat_work self, the wake
would be blocked by itself, so we have to changing into an unblocking wake
(directly wakeup via mt7921_mcu_drv_pmctrl, not via the wake_work) in the
context.

Hi Sean,

it seems to me we are missing some logic here (e.g cancelling ps_work as we do
in mt76_connac_pm_wake()). Is it enough to move mt7921_usb_sdio_tx_status_data
on mac80211 workqueue? Can you see any performance issue? (same for mt7663).

Regards,
Lorenzo
