    rtlwifi: Remove in_interrupt() usage in is_any_client_connect_to_ap(). · 317f688b
    Sebastian Andrzej Siewior authored
    is_any_client_connect_to_ap() is using in_interrupt() to determine whether
    it should acquire the lock prior accessing the list.
    
    The usage of in_interrupt() in drivers is phased out and Linus clearly
    requested that code which changes behaviour depending on context should
    either be separated or the context be conveyed in an argument passed by the
    caller, which usually knows the context.
    
    The function is called from:
    
        - halbtc_get()
    
        - halbtc_get()
            halbtc_get_wifi_link_status()
    
        - halbtc_display_dbg_msg()
    	halbtc_display_wifi_status()
              halbtc_get_wifi_link_status()
    
    All top level callers are part of the btc_coexist callback inferface and
    are never invoked from a context which can hold the lock already.
    
    The contexts which hold the lock are either protecting list add/del
    operations or list walks which never call into any of the btc_coexist
    interfaces.
    
    In fact the conditional is outright dangerous because if this function
    would be invoked from a BH disabled context the check would avoid taking
    the lock while on another CPU the list could be manipulated under the lock.
    
    Remove the in_interrupt() check and always acquire the lock.
    
    To simplify the code further use list_empty() instead of walking the list
    and counting the entries just to check the count for > 0 at the end.
