## Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  wifi: ath12k: fix dfs-radar and temperature event locking  The ath12k active pdevs are protected by RCU but the DFS-radar and temperature event handling code calling ath12k_mac_get_ar_by_pdev_id() was not marked as a read-side critical section.  Mark the code in question as RCU read-side critical sections to avoid any potential use-after-free issues.  Note that the temperature event handler looks like a place holder currently but would still trigger an RCU lockdep splat.  Compile tested only.
