ath10k: fix kernel panic by moving pci flush after napi_disable

Browse Source 
When continuously running wifi up/down sequence, the napi poll
can be scheduled after the CE buffers being freed by ath10k_pci_flush

Steps:
  In a certain condition, during wifi down below scenario might occur.

ath10k_stop->ath10k_hif_stop->napi_schedule->ath10k_pci_flush->napi_poll(napi_synchronize).

In the above scenario, CE buffer entries will be freed up and become NULL in
ath10k_pci_flush. And the napi_poll has been invoked after the flush process
and it will try to get the skb from the CE buffer entry and perform some action on that.
Since the CE buffer already cleaned by pci flush this action will create NULL
pointer dereference and trigger below kernel panic.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000005c
