Warning will appear when running P2P GO: WARNING: suspicious RCU usage drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath12k/mac.c:583 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. stack backtrace: CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.8.0-rc4-wt-ath+ #4 Call Trace: <IRQ> dump_stack_lvl+0x82/0xa0 dump_stack+0x14/0x20 lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x214/0x3b0 ath12k_mac_get_ar_by_vdev_id+0x192/0x220 [ath12k] ath12k_wmi_op_rx+0x2d7/0x1b40 [ath12k] ath12k_mac_get_ar_by_vdev_id() requires its callers to have called rcu_read_lock(), but in ath12k_wmi_p2p_noa_event() it is called without doing so, and hence the warning was triggered. Add rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() to avoid warning.
