[PATCH] mwifiex: reduce spinlock usage in main process

[PATCH] mwifiex: reduce spinlock usage in main process

[Amitkumar Karwar]

From: Cathy Luo <cluo@marvell.com>

We will reset more_task_flag at the end of main process
routine. This optimization will help to remove spinlock
operations at couple of places in the code.
