Johannes Berg d8dec42b5c mac80211: keep BHs disabled while calling drv_tx_wake_queue()
Drivers typically expect this, as it's the case for almost all cases
where this is called (i.e. from the TX path). Also, the code in mac80211
itself (if the driver calls ieee80211_tx_dequeue()) expects this as it
uses this_cpu_ptr() without additional protection.

This should fix various reports of the problem:

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
