[PATCH 4.14 41/49] ath9k: Protect queue draining by rcu_read_lock()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@toke.dk>

commit 182b1917109892ab9f26d66bfdcbc4ba6f0a0a65 upstream.

When ath9k was switched over to use the mac80211 intermediate queues,
node cleanup now drains the mac80211 queues. However, this call path is
not protected by rcu_read_lock() as it was previously entirely internal
to the driver which uses its own locking.

This leads to a possible rcu_dereference() without holding
rcu_read_lock(); but only if a station is cleaned up while having
packets queued on the TXQ. Fix this by adding the rcu_read_lock() to the
caller in ath9k.

Fixes: 50f08edf9809 ("ath9k: Switch to using mac80211 intermediate software queues.")
