Yibo Zhao de8cf2c0bc mac80211: only warn once on chanctx_conf being NULL 
[ Upstream commit 5635723401 ]

In multiple SSID cases, it takes time to prepare every AP interface
to be ready in initializing phase. If a sta already knows everything it
needs to join one of the APs and sends authentication to the AP which
is not fully prepared at this point of time, AP's channel context
could be NULL. As a result, warning message occurs.

Even worse, if the AP is under attack via tools such as MDK3 and massive
authentication requests are received in a very short time, console will
be hung due to kernel warning messages.

WARN_ON_ONCE() could be a better way for indicating warning messages
without duplicate messages to flood the console.

Johannes: We still need to address the underlying problem, but we
          don't really have a good handle on it yet. Suppress the
          worst side-effects for now.

README 

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 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.
