From: Benjamin Berg <benjamin.berg@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit b8b80770b26c4591f20f1cde3328e5f1489c4488 ] struct sta_info may be removed without holding sta_mtx if it has not yet been inserted. To support this, only assert that the lock is held for links other than the deflink. This fixes lockdep issues that may be triggered in error cases.
