[PATCH] wifi: mac80211: avoid WARN in set_bitrate_mask when sdata not in driver

[Rik van Riel <riel@surriel.com>]

ieee80211_set_bitrate_mask() checks if the interface is running via
ieee80211_sdata_running(), but it does not check if the interface is
still present in the driver.

When sdata is running but IEEE80211_SDATA_IN_DRIVER is not set, the
call reaches drv_set_bitrate_mask() in driver-ops.h which hits

  wlan1: Failed check-sdata-in-driver check, flags: 0x0
  WARNING: net/mac80211/driver-ops.h:884 at drv_set_bitrate_mask

Syzkaller triggers this via wext SIOCSIWRATE ioctl. The Call Trace shows
wext_ioctl_dispatch() in wext-core.c dispatching the ioctl, calling
ioctl_standard_call() for SIOCSIWRATE, which calls cfg80211_wext_siwrate()
in wext-compat.c. That builds a bitrate mask and calls
rdev_set_bitrate_mask() which ends up in ieee80211_set_bitrate_mask() in
cfg.c. The interface is marked running via SDATA_STATE_RUNNING but
flags is 0, so check_sdata_in_driver() fails.

When the interface is being torn down, or when wext ioctl is issued
during interface bringup before drv_add_interface() sets IN_DRIVER, the
running check passes while IN_DRIVER is clear.

Check IEEE80211_SDATA_IN_DRIVER in ieee80211_set_bitrate_mask() before
calling the driver, returning -ENETDOWN. This avoids the WARN_ONCE in
driver-ops.h and matches other cfg.c operations that bail early when not
in driver.

This change should be safe because wiphy mutex is held in
cfg80211_wext_siwrate() via guard(wiphy), and IN_DRIVER is set/cleared
under RTNL and wiphy paths in drv_add_interface() and
drv_remove_interface() in driver-ops.c, so the check is race-free
against driver add/remove. Returning -ENETDOWN is the same error other
not-running paths use and does not introduce new locking.
