wifi: ath11k: use RCU when accessing struct inet6_dev::ac_list

Browse source 
Commit c3718936ec ("ipv6: anycast: complete RCU handling of struct
ifacaddr6") converted struct inet6_dev::ac_list to use RCU but missed that
ath11k also accesses this list. Now sparse warns:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:9145:21: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:9145:21:    expected struct ifacaddr6 *ifaca6
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:9145:21:    got struct ifacaddr6 [noderef] __rcu *ac_list
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:9145:53: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:9145:53:    expected struct ifacaddr6 *ifaca6
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:9145:53:    got struct ifacaddr6 [noderef] __rcu *aca_next

Fix it by using rtnl_dereference(). Also add a note that read_lock_bh() calls
rcu_read_lock() which I was not aware of.
