[PATCH v5 0/1] wifi: mac80211: fix monitor mode frame capture for real chanctx drivers

From: Devin Wittmayer

v4 [1] used list_first_or_null_rcu() plus an rcu_access_pointer() check
on the sole entry's list.next to confirm it was the only chanctx. As
Johannes pointed out [2], list.next is not an __rcu pointer, so that
check trips a sparse warning, and his original loop is cleaner. v5 walks
chanctx_list with list_for_each_entry_rcu() and takes the sole entry
instead, which builds clean.

v5 also switches the stable tag to the noautosel opt-out, since the fix
can crash older drivers and should not be auto-backported.

No functional change from v4, so the v3 Tested-by carries. I rebuilt v5
and reran the monitor injection test on mt7921e here, no crash.
