[PATCH 5.10 57/76] mac80211: fix locking in ieee80211_start_ap error path

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2021-12-27 15:42:12
Also in: lkml

From: Johannes Berg <redacted>

commit 87a270625a89fc841f1a7e21aae6176543d8385c upstream.

We need to hold the local->mtx to release the channel context,
as even encoded by the lockdep_assert_held() there. Fix it.
