Ziyi Guo 7d355d937d wifi: iwlegacy: add missing mutex protection in il4965_store_tx_power() 
[ Upstream commit e31fa691d0 ]

il4965_store_tx_power() calls il_set_tx_power() without holding il->mutex.
However, il_set_tx_power() has lockdep_assert_held(&il->mutex) indicating
that callers must hold this lock.

All other callers of il_set_tx_power() properly acquire the mutex:
- il_bg_scan_completed() acquires mutex at common.c:1683
- il_mac_config() acquires mutex at common.c:5006
- il3945_commit_rxon() and il4965_commit_rxon() are called via work
  queues that hold the mutex (like il4965_bg_alive_start)

Add mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock() around the il_set_tx_power() call in
the sysfs store function to fix the missing lock protection.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
