Subject: wifi: ath11k: fix htt pktlog locking
From: Johan Hovold <johan+linaro@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 3f77c7d605b29df277d77e9ee75d96e7ad145d2d upstream.
The ath11k active pdevs are protected by RCU but the htt pktlog handling
code calling ath11k_mac_get_ar_by_pdev_id() was not marked as a
read-side critical section.
Mark the code in question as an RCU read-side critical section to avoid
any potential use-after-free issues.
Compile tested only.
