[lvc-project] [PATCH] wifi: mac80211: use two-phase skb reclamation in ieee80211_do_stop()

Since '__dev_queue_xmit()' should be called with interrupts enabled,
the following backtrace:

ieee80211_do_stop()
 ...
 spin_lock_irqsave(&local->queue_stop_reason_lock, flags)
 ...
 ieee80211_free_txskb()
  ieee80211_report_used_skb()
   ieee80211_report_ack_skb()
    cfg80211_mgmt_tx_status_ext()
     nl80211_frame_tx_status()
      genlmsg_multicast_netns()
       genlmsg_multicast_netns_filtered()
        nlmsg_multicast_filtered()
	 netlink_broadcast_filtered()
	  do_one_broadcast()
	   netlink_broadcast_deliver()
	    __netlink_sendskb()
	     netlink_deliver_tap()
	      __netlink_deliver_tap_skb()
	       dev_queue_xmit()
	        __dev_queue_xmit() ; with IRQS disabled
 ...
 spin_unlock_irqrestore(&local->queue_stop_reason_lock, flags)

issues the warning (as reported by syzbot reproducer):

WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 5128 at kernel/softirq.c:362 __local_bh_enable_ip+0xc3/0x120

Fix this by implementing a two-phase skb reclamation in
'ieee80211_do_stop()', where actual work is performed
outside of a section with interrupts disabled.
