wifi: cfg80211: fix cqm_config access race
[ Upstream commit 37c20b2e ] Max Schulze reports crashes with brcmfmac. The reason seems to be a race between userspace removing the CQM config and the driver calling cfg80211_cqm_rssi_notify(), where if the data is freed while cfg80211_cqm_rssi_notify() runs it will crash since it assumes wdev->cqm_config is set. This can't be fixed with a simple non-NULL check since there's nothing we can do for locking easily, so use RCU instead to protect the pointer, but that requires pulling the updates out into an asynchronous worker so they can sleep and call back into the driver. Since we need to change the free anyway, also change it to go back to the old settings if changing the settings fails.
