Subject: [168/200] iwlwifi: add missing rcu_read_lock

2.6.34-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

commit 6db6340c42d027b6364d49fa99d69019aca24de4 upstream.

Using ieee80211_find_sta() needs to be under
RCU read lock, which iwlwifi currently misses,
so fix it.
