wifi: ath11k: fix RCU documentation in ath11k_mac_op_ipv6_changed()
Current documentation on RCU in ath11k_mac_op_ipv6_changed() says: /* Note: read_lock_bh() calls rcu_read_lock() */ read_lock_bh(&idev->lock); This is wrong because without enabling CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT rcu_read_lock() is not called by read_lock_bh(). The reason why current code works even in a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=n kernel is because atomic_notifier_call_chain() already does that for us, see: int atomic_notifier_call_chain() { ... rcu_read_lock(); ret = notifier_call_chain(&nh->head, val, v, -1, NULL); rcu_read_unlock(); ... } and backtrace: ath11k_mac_op_ipv6_changed ieee80211_ifa6_changed notifier_call_chain atomic_notifier_call_chain So update the comment to make it correct. This is found during code review, compile tested only.
