Shouldn't I have to prevent scheduler from changing the tasks when executing

As long as preemption is disabled when the driver code is executing I don't see how this would happen.. I don't know much of how ndiswrapper does things but if the driver calls back into your code then you'd just have to change the stack back before doing anything that could schedule.
