Subject: [PATCH 5.15 109/207] iwlwifi: fix warnings produced by kernel debug options

From: Łukasz Bartosik <lb@...ihalf.com>

commit f5cecf1d4c5ff76172928bc32e99ca56a5ca2f56 upstream.

Fix warnings produced by:
- lockdep_assert_wiphy() in function reg_process_self_managed_hint(),
- wiphy_dereference() in function iwl_mvm_init_fw_regd().
Both function are expected to be called in critical section.

The warnings were discovered when running v5.15 kernel
with debug options enabled:

1)
Hardware name: Google Delbin/Delbin
RIP: 0010:reg_process_self_managed_hint+0x254/0x347 [cfg80211]
