mac80211: Replace rcu_dereference() with rcu_access_pointer()
The "rcu_dereference()" calls are used directly in conditions. Since their return values are never dereferenced it is recommended to use "rcu_access_pointer()" instead of "rcu_dereference()". Therefore, this patch makes the replacements. The following Coccinelle semantic patch was used: @@ @@ ( if( (<+... - rcu_dereference + rcu_access_pointer (...) ...+>)) {...} | while( (<+... - rcu_dereference + rcu_access_pointer (...) ...+>)) {...} ) Signed-off-by: Andreea-Cristina Bernat <bernat.ada@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
