wifi: ath12k: use lockdep_assert_in_rcu_read_lock() for RCU assertions

Browse Source 
Two functions in ath12k assert that the caller holds an RCU read lock:
ath12k_mac_get_arvif() and ath12k_p2p_noa_update_vdev_iter(). Both use:

    WARN_ON(!rcu_read_lock_any_held());

On kernels using preemptible RCU (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y or CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y)
without CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC, this produces a false positive splat
whenever these functions are invoked from paths that do hold the RCU
read lock (e.g. firmware stats processing or mac80211 interface
iteration).

Root cause:

  - Without CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC, rcu_read_lock_any_held() is a
    static inline that returns !preemptible() as a proxy for "in an
    RCU read section".

  - With preemptible RCU, rcu_read_lock() does not disable preemption.
    A task can therefore be preemptible while legitimately holding an
    RCU read lock, making the proxy unreliable.

  - Callers such as ath12k_wmi_tlv_rssi_chain_parse() (via guard(rcu)())
    and ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_atomic() do hold the RCU
    read lock, so these warnings are incorrect.

Typical splat seen on a WCN7850 station with periodic fw stats
processing:

Replace WARN_ON(!rcu_read_lock_any_held()) with
lockdep_assert_in_rcu_read_lock(), which is gated on CONFIG_PROVE_RCU
and therefore compiles out entirely when PROVE_RCU is disabled.
PROVE_RCU kernels continue to get the full lockdep-based check, and
the new helper precisely checks for rcu_read_lock() rather than any
RCU variant, which better matches the callers' expectations.
