Due to a race-condition there could be an IBS sleep command queued
even after clearing the bit and flushing the queue.

In qca_enqueue() we have this:

static int qca_enqueue(struct hci_uart *hu, struct sk_buff *skb)
{
        ...

        /* Don't go to sleep in middle of patch download or
         * Out-Of-Band(GPIOs control) sleep is selected.
         */
        if (!test_bit(STATE_IN_BAND_SLEEP_ENABLED, &qca->flags)) {
                skb_queue_tail(&qca->txq, skb);
                return 0;
        }

        spin_lock_irqsave(&qca->hci_ibs_lock, flags);
}

With process X executing qca_power_shutdown() and process Y running
qca_enqueue() this could happen:

[X] test_bit(STATE_IN_BAND_SLEEP_ENABLED)  => set
[Y] clear_bit(STATE_IN_BAND_SLEEP_ENABLED)
[Y] qca_flush(hu);
[X] skb_queue_tail(&qca->txq, skb);

The following should fix this race:
