Subject: [PATCH 5.4 108/138] iwlwifi: mvm: dont call iwl_mvm_free_inactive_queue() under RCU

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

commit fbb1461ad1d6eacca9beb69a2f3ce1b5398d399b upstream.

iwl_mvm_free_inactive_queue() will sleep in synchronize_net() under
some circumstances, so don't call it under RCU. There doesn't appear
to be a need for RCU protection around this particular call.
