nl80211: take RCU read lock when calling ieee80211_bss_get_ie()
commit 7a94b8c2eee7083ddccd0515830f8c81a8e44b1a upstream. As ieee80211_bss_get_ie() derefences an RCU to return ssid_ie, both the call to this function and any operation on this variable need protection by the RCU read lock. Fixes: 44905265bc15 ("nl80211: don't expose wdev->ssid for most interfaces") Change-Id: I7d9c6c32135f4be34678537653787654d435116e Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
