Alexis Lothoré e556006de4 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

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
