From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
All we're going to do with this pointer is assign it to
another __rcu pointer, but sparse can't see that, so
use rcu_access_pointer() to silence the warning here.
Fixes: c90b93b5b782 ("wifi: cfg80211: update hidden BSSes to avoid WARN_ON")

Sending it now anyway, just in case you might want to
throw it into the tree before sending a PR to Linus.
