Hello,
this small series aims to fix a RCU warning due to RCU pointer dereference
outside of a RCU critical read section.
Fix is in the second commit, the first one is a mere declarations
reordering before touching declared variables in wilc_parse_join_bss_param
Changes in v2:
- fix leak in early return

With lockdep enabled, calls to the connect function from cfg802.11 layer
lead to the following warning:

This warning is emitted because in the connect path, when trying to parse
target BSS parameters, we dereference a RCU pointer whithout being in RCU
critical section.
Fix RCU dereference usage by moving it to a RCU read critical section. To
avoid wrapping the whole wilc_parse_join_bss_param under the critical
section, just use the critical section to copy ies data
