The ath11k active pdevs are protected by RCU but the temperature event
handling code calling ath11k_mac_get_ar_by_pdev_id() was not marked as a
read-side critical section as reported by RCU lockdep:
=============================
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
6.6.0-rc6 #7 Not tainted
-----------------------------
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:638 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
other info that might help us debug this:
rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
no locks held by swapper/0/0.

Call trace:

Mark the code in question as an RCU read-side critical section to avoid
any potential use-after-free issues.
