[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.18 05/68] drivers: staging: rtl8723bs: Fix deadlock in rtw_surveydone_event_callback()

[ Upstream commit cc7ad0d77b51c872d629bcd98aea463a3c4109e7 ]

There is a deadlock in rtw_surveydone_event_callback(),
which is shown below:

   (Thread 1)                  |      (Thread 2)
                               | _set_timer()
rtw_surveydone_event_callback()|  mod_timer()
 spin_lock_bh() //(1)          |  (wait a time)
 ...                           | rtw_scan_timeout_handler()
 del_timer_sync()              |  spin_lock_bh() //(2)
 (wait timer to stop)          |  ...

We hold pmlmepriv->lock in position (1) of thread 1 and use
del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler
also need pmlmepriv->lock in position (2) of thread 2.
As a result, rtw_surveydone_event_callback() will block forever.

This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection of
spin_lock_bh(), which could let timer handler to obtain
the needed lock. What`s more, we change spin_lock_bh() in
rtw_scan_timeout_handler() to spin_lock_irq(). Otherwise,
spin_lock_bh() will also cause deadlock() in timer handler.
