[PATCH] mac80211: fix RCU usage in ieee80211_tx_h_select_key()

From: Jiri Kosina

From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@xxxxxxx>

ieee80211_tx_h_select_key() is performing a series of RCU dereferences,
but none of the callers seems to be taking RCU read-side lock; let's
acquire the lock in ieee80211_tx_h_select_key() itself.

Spotted with rtw89 driver.

This fixes the splat below.

Unless I am missing something, this seems to have been buggy for over a
decade ... ?
