[PATCH 6.19 325/844] wifi: ath10k: fix lock protection in ath10k_wmi_event_peer_sta_ps_state_chg()
From: Sasha Levin

[ Upstream commit 820ba7dd6859ef8b1eaf6014897e7aa4756fc65d ]
ath10k_wmi_event_peer_sta_ps_state_chg() uses lockdep_assert_held() to
assert that ar->data_lock should be held by the caller, but neither
ath10k_wmi_10_2_op_rx() nor ath10k_wmi_10_4_op_rx() acquire this lock
before calling this function.
The field arsta->peer_ps_state is documented as protected by
ar->data_lock in core.h, and other accessors (ath10k_peer_ps_state_disable,
ath10k_dbg_sta_read_peer_ps_state) properly acquire this lock.
Add spin_lock_bh()/spin_unlock_bh() around the peer_ps_state update,
and remove the lockdep_assert_held() to be aligned with new locking,
following the pattern used by other WMI event handlers in the driver.
