Subject: [PATCH 4.7 038/141] i40iw: Protect req_resource_num update

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

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

From: Mustafa Ismail <mustafa.ismail@...el.com>

commit 44856be3e95c87f03e850ef4fdf8c0503c2dde18 upstream.

In i40iw_alloc_resource(), ensure that the update to
req_resource_num is protected by the lock.

Fixes: 8e06af711bf2 ("i40iw: add main, hdr, status")
