Miaoqing Pan 07246c1158 ath9k: fix an invalid pointer dereference in ath9k_rng_stop() 
The bug was triggered when do suspend/resuming continuously
on Dell XPS L322X/0PJHXN version 9333 (2013) with kernel
4.12.0-041200rc4-generic. But can't reproduce on DELL
E5440 + AR9300 PCIE chips.

The warning is caused by accessing invalid pointer sc->rng_task.
sc->rng_task is not be cleared after kthread_stop(sc->rng_task)
be called in ath9k_rng_stop(). Because the kthread is stopped
before ath9k_rng_kthread() be scheduled.

So set sc->rng_task to null after kthread_stop(sc->rng_task) to
resolve this issue.
