Subject: CVE-2024-56607: wifi: ath12k: fix atomic calls in ath12k_mac_op_set_bitrate_mask()

Description
===========

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

wifi: ath12k: fix atomic calls in ath12k_mac_op_set_bitrate_mask()

When I try to manually set bitrates:

iw wlan0 set bitrates legacy-2.4 1

I get sleeping from invalid context error, see below. Fix that by switching to
use recently introduced ieee80211_iterate_stations_mtx().

Do note that WCN6855 firmware is still crashing, I'm not sure if that firmware
even supports bitrate WMI commands and should we consider disabling
ath12k_mac_op_set_bitrate_mask() for WCN6855? But that's for another patch.

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath12k/wmi.c:420

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
