wifi: wilc1000: fix RCU usage in connect path
[ Upstream commit 205c50306acf58a335eb19fa84e40140f4fe814f ]
With lockdep enabled, calls to the connect function from cfg802.11 layer
lead to the following warning:

This warning is emitted because in the connect path, when trying to parse
target BSS parameters, we dereference a RCU pointer whithout being in RCU
critical section.
Fix RCU dereference usage by moving it to a RCU read critical section. To
avoid wrapping the whole wilc_parse_join_bss_param under the critical
section, just use the critical section to copy ies data
