wifi: ath12k: use lockdep_assert_in_rcu_read_lock() for RCU assertions
Two functions in ath12k assert that the caller holds an RCU read lock: ath12k_mac_get_arvif() and ath12k_p2p_noa_update_vdev_iter(). Both use: WARN_ON(!rcu_read_lock_any_held()); On kernels using preemptible RCU (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y or CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y) without CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC, this produces a false positive splat whenever these functions are invoked from paths that do hold the RCU read lock (e.g. firmware stats processing or mac80211 interface iteration). Root cause: - Without CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC, rcu_read_lock_any_held() is a static inline that returns !preemptible() as a proxy for "in an RCU read section". - With preemptible RCU, rcu_read_lock() does not disable preemption. A task can therefore be preemptible while legitimately holding an RCU read lock, making the proxy unreliable. - Callers such as ath12k_wmi_tlv_rssi_chain_parse() (via guard(rcu)()) and ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_atomic() do hold the RCU read lock, so these warnings are incorrect. Typical splat seen on a WCN7850 station with periodic fw stats processing: WARNING: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath12k/mac.c:791 at ath12k_mac_get_arvif+0x9e/0xd0 [ath12k] Tainted: G W O 6.19.13-rt #1 PREEMPT_RT Call Trace: ath12k_wmi_tlv_rssi_chain_parse+0x69/0x170 [ath12k] ath12k_wmi_tlv_iter+0x7f/0x120 [ath12k] ath12k_wmi_tlv_fw_stats_parse+0x342/0x6b0 [ath12k] ath12k_wmi_op_rx+0xe9e/0x3150 [ath12k] ath12k_htc_rx_completion_handler+0x3df/0x5b0 [ath12k] ath12k_ce_per_engine_service+0x325/0x3e0 [ath12k] ath12k_pci_ce_workqueue+0x20/0x40 [ath12k] Replace WARN_ON(!rcu_read_lock_any_held()) with lockdep_assert_in_rcu_read_lock(), which is gated on CONFIG_PROVE_RCU and therefore compiles out entirely when PROVE_RCU is disabled. PROVE_RCU kernels continue to get the full lockdep-based check, and the new helper precisely checks for rcu_read_lock() rather than any RCU variant, which better matches the callers' expectations.
