Alexis Lothoré ebfb5e8fc8 Revert "wifi: wilc1000: convert list management to RCU" 
This reverts commit f236464f1d

Commit f236464f1d ("wifi: wilc1000: convert list management to RCU")
replaced SRCU with RCU, aiming to simplify RCU usage in the driver. No
documentation or commit history hinted about why SRCU has been preferred
in original design, so it has been assumed to be safe to do this
conversion.
Unfortunately, some static analyzers raised warnings, confirmed by runtime
checker, not long after the merge. At least three different issues arose
when switching to RCU:
- wilc_wlan_txq_filter_dup_tcp_ack is executed in a RCU read critical
  section yet calls wait_for_completion_timeout
- wilc_wfi_init_mon_interface calls kmalloc and register_netdevice while
  manipulating a vif retrieved from vif list
- set_channel sends command to chip (and so, also waits for a completion)
  while holding a vif retrieved from vif list (so, in RCU read critical
  section)

Some of those issues are not trivial to fix and would need bigger driver
rework. Fix those issues by reverting the SRCU to RCU conversion commit

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 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.
