The ath11k active pdevs are protected by RCU but the gtk offload status
event handling code calling ath11k_mac_get_arvif_by_vdev_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.

...and here's one more, this time using the
ath11k_mac_get_arvif_by_vdev_id() helper.
