Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: ath11k: fix htt pktlog locking

The ath11k active pdevs are protected by RCU but the htt pktlog handling

read-side critical section.

Mark the code in question as an RCU read-side critical section to avoid
any potential use-after-free issues.
