Léo Lam e904e81fd3 wifi: nl80211: fix deadlock in nl80211_set_cqm_rssi (6.6.x) 
Commit 008afb9f3d57 ("wifi: cfg80211: fix CQM for non-range use"
backported to 6.6.x) causes nl80211_set_cqm_rssi not to release the
wdev lock in some of the error paths.

Of course, the ensuing deadlock causes userland network managers to
break pretty badly, and on typical systems this also causes lockups on
on suspend, poweroff and reboot. See [1], [2], [3] for example reports.

The upstream commit 7e7efdda6a ("wifi: cfg80211: fix CQM for non-range
use"), committed in November 2023, is completely fine because there was
another commit in August 2023 that removed the wdev lock:
see commit 076fc8775d ("wifi: cfg80211: remove wdev mutex").

The reason things broke in 6.6.5 is that commit 4338058f6009 was applied
without also applying 076fc8775d.

Commit 076fc8775d ("wifi: cfg80211: remove wdev mutex") is a rather
large commit; adjusting the error handling (which is what this commit does)
yields a much simpler patch and was tested to work properly.

Fix the deadlock by releasing the lock before returning.

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.

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.
