mac80211: fix locking in update_vlan_tailroom_need_count()
Unfortunately, Michal's change to fix AP_VLAN crypto tailroom caused a locking issue that was reported by lockdep, but only in a few cases - the issue was a classic ABBA deadlock caused by taking the mtx after the key_mtx, where normally they're taken the other way around. As the key mutex protects the field in question (I'm adding a few annotations to make that clear) only the iteration needs to be protected, but we can also iterate the interface list with just RCU protection while holding the key mutex.
