Subject: [036/146] mac80211: fix a few RCU issues

2.6.38-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

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

commit a3836e02ba4c50db958d32d710b226f2408623dc upstream.

A few configuration functions correctly do
rcu_read_lock() but don't correctly reference
some pointers protected by RCU. Fix that.
