Subject: [PATCH 2/4] rtw88: Configure the registers from rtw_bf_assoc() outside the RCU lock

USB and (upcoming) SDIO support may sleep in the read/write handlers.
Shrink the RCU critical section so it only cover the call to
ieee80211_find_sta() and finding the ic_vht_cap/vht_cap based on the
found station. This moves the chip's BFEE configuration outside the
rcu_read_lock section and thus prevent "scheduling while atomic" or
"Voluntary context switch within RCU read-side critical section!"
warnings when accessing the registers using an SDIO card (which is
where this issue has been spotted in the real world - but it also
affects USB cards).
