4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Yan-Hsuan Chuang <yhchuang@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit c752cac9db1b0c469db7ba9d17af4ba708984db5 upstream.
cfg80211_sta_opmode_change_notify needs a gfp_t flag to hint the nl80211
stack when allocating new skb, but it is called under tasklet context
here with GFP_KERNEL and kernel will yield a warning about it.

Fixes: ff84e7bfe176 ("mac80211: Add support to notify ht/vht opmode modification.")
