  staging: rtl8723bs: Improve the comment explaining the locking rules (2022-03-02 16:38:24 +0100)

Staging driver fixes for 5.17-rc8

Here are 3 small fixes for staging drivers for 5.17-rc8 or -final, which
ever comes next.

They resolve some reported problems:
	- rtl8723bs wifi driver deadlock fix for reported problem that
	  is a revert of a previous patch.  Also a documentation fix is
	  added so that the same problem hopefully can not come back
	  again.
	- gdm724x driver use-after-free fix for a reported problem.

All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
problems.
