Despite the macro list_for_each_entry_safe() having the word "safe" in the name, it's still not actually safe to release the list spinlock while iterating over the list. The "safe" in the macro name actually only means that it's safe to delete the current entry while iterating over the list. Releasing the spinlock while iterating over the list means that someone else could come in and adjust the list while we don't have the spinlock. If they do that it can totally mix up our iteration and fully corrupt the list. Later iterating over a corrupted list while holding a spinlock and having IRQs off can cause all sorts of hard to debug problems. As evidenced by the other call to mwifiex_11n_delete_tx_ba_stream_tbl_entry() in mwifiex_11n_delete_all_tx_ba_stream_tbl(), it's actually safe to skip the spinlock release. Let's do that. No known problems are fixed by this patch, but it could fix all sorts of weird problems and it should be very safe.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
