That explains. Not subscribed to that.

Thought about something like this after sending the email. So there are
two call sites. One for scheduled scan results notification and one in
scheduled scan stop scenario. So for the latter it is not needed to use
the rcu_read_lock() as it should have RTNL lock hence the two checks above?

Will create a formal patch.
