wifi: mac80211: Add link iteration macro for link data with rcu_dereference

Browse source

Currently, the existing macro for_each_link_data() uses sdata_dereference()
which requires the wiphy lock. This lock cannot be used in atomic or RCU
read-side contexts, such as in the RX path.

Introduce a new macro, for_each_link_data_rcu(), that iterates over link of
sdata using rcu_dereference(), making it safe to use in RCU contexts. This
allows callers to access link data without requiring the wiphy lock.

The macro takes into account the vif.valid_links bitmap and ensures only
valid links are accessed safely. Callers are responsible for ensuring that
rcu_read_lock() is held when using this macro.
