mac80211: add tx dequeue function for process context
Since ieee80211_tx_dequeue() must not be called with softirqs enabled (i.e. from process context without proper disable of bottom halves), we add a wrapper that disables bottom halves before calling ieee80211_tx_dequeue() The new function is named ieee80211_tx_dequeue_ni() just as all other from-process-context versions found in mac80211. The documentation of ieee80211_tx_dequeue() is also updated so it mentions that the function should not be called from process context.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
