[PATCH 4.9 28/43] mac80211: fix station rate table updates on assoc

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@nbd.name>

commit 18fe0fae61252b5ae6e26553e2676b5fac555951 upstream.

If the driver uses .sta_add, station entries are only uploaded after the sta
is in assoc state. Fix early station rate table updates by deferring them
until the sta has been uploaded.

[use rcu_access_pointer() instead since we won't dereference here]
