We can call this in one of two ways: through mac80211, where we're already in an RCU read-side critical section, or from some other code in the driver where this pointer can only be NULL. In any case, we get a 'free' already protected pointer to the sta through info->control.sta, so we can use it on the stack without any further protection. Remove the rcu_dereference() and critical section.

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.
