[PATCH v4 1/2] wifi: ath11k: move update channel list from update reg worker to reg notifier

[Kang Yang]

From: Wen Gong <quic_wgong at quicinc.com>

Currently when ath11k gets new channel list, it will mainly do two things
in ath11k_regd_update():
1. update channel list to cfg80211 by reg_work.
2. update cfg80211's channel list to firmware by
ath11k_reg_update_chan_list().

Flow:
ath11k_regd_update
->regulatory_set_wiphy_regd
        -> schedule_work(&reg_work)
                ->reg_work->reg_process_self_managed_hint
                        ->handle_band_custom(update to cfg80211)
-> ath11k_reg_update_chan_list(update to firmware)

But ath11k_reg_update_chan_list() is immediately called after reg_work
is queued. They are running in different threads. At this time,
ath11k_reg_update_chan_list() may use a wrong channel list because
handle_band_custom() may not be finished.
This may result in out-of-bounds write errors:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ath11k_reg_update_chan_list
Call Trace:
    ath11k_reg_update_chan_list+0xbfe/0xfe0 [ath11k]
    kfree+0x109/0x3a0
    ath11k_regd_update+0x1cf/0x350 [ath11k]
    ath11k_regd_update_work+0x14/0x20 [ath11k]
    process_one_work+0xe35/0x14c0

So should make sure ath11k_reg_update_chan_list() is called after
handle_band_custom() is finished.

reg_process_self_managed_hint() will call reg_call_notifier() after
handle_band_custom(). This function will call ath11k_reg_notifier(), so
move ath11k_reg_update_chan_list() to ath11k_reg_notifier(). Then
ath11k can update correct channel list to firmware.

Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3
