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

From: Johan Hovold johan+linaro@kernel.org
commit 3b6c14833165f689cc5928574ebafe52bbce5f1e upstream.
The ath11k active pdevs are protected by RCU but the DFS radar event handling code calling ath11k_mac_get_ar_by_pdev_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.
Compile tested only.
