ath9k: Use atomic reference count for interrupt ops

Let us enable/disable interrupts based on reference count.
By doing this we can ensure that interrupts are never be
enabled in the middle of tasklet processing. Instead of
addressing corner cases like "ath9k: avoid enabling interrupts
while processing rx", this approach handles it in generic manner.
