ath11k: pci: fix crash on suspend if board file is not found

Mario reported that the kernel was crashing on suspend if ath11k was not able to find a board file:

The issue here is that board file loading happens after ath11k_pci_probe() succesfully returns (ath11k initialisation happends asynchronously) and the suspend handler is still enabled, of course failing as ath11k is not properly initialised. Fix this by checking ATH11K_FLAG_QMI_FAIL during both suspend and resume.
