Subject: mac80211: move some RCU locking into an if branch
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.28-rc1~717^2~292^2~37
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=69e6c010fd5f5015d3cc64718fbe266face93770;p=profile%2Fivi%2Fkernel-x86-ivi.git

mac80211: move some RCU locking into an if branch

The if itself doesn't need to be protected, so move in the RCU
locking to avoid doing anything at all when the condition isn't
true.
