mac80211: sta_info: Add lockdep condition for RCU list usage
[ Upstream commit 8ca47eb9f9e4e10e7e7fa695731a88941732c38d ]
The function sta_info_get_by_idx() uses RCU list primitive.
It is called with local->sta_mtx held from mac80211/cfg.c.
Add lockdep expression to avoid any false positive RCU list warnings.
