The ath11k active pdevs are protected by RCU but the temperature event
handling code calling ath11k_mac_get_ar_by_pdev_id() was not marked as a
read-side critical section as reported by RCU lockdep:

	=============================
	WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
	6.6.0-rc6 #7 Not tainted
	-----------------------------
	drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/mac.c:638 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

	other info that might help us debug this:

	rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
	no locks held by swapper/0/0.
	...
	Call trace:
	...
	 lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x16c/0x22c
	 ath11k_mac_get_ar_by_pdev_id+0x194/0x1b0 [ath11k]
	 ath11k_wmi_tlv_op_rx+0xa84/0x2c1c [ath11k]
	 ath11k_htc_rx_completion_handler+0x388/0x510 [ath11k]

Mark the code in question as an RCU read-side critical section to avoid
any potential use-after-free issues.
