cfg80211: hold bss_lock while updating nontrans_list
[ Upstream commit a5199b5626cd6913cf8776a835bc63d40e0686ad ]
Synchronize additions to nontrans_list of transmitting BSS with
bss_lock to avoid races. Also when cfg80211_add_nontrans_list() fails
__cfg80211_unlink_bss() needs bss_lock to be held (has lockdep assert
on bss_lock). So protect the whole block with bss_lock to avoid
races and warnings. Found during code review.
