    commit ebaa4b16 upstream.
    
    arvifs list is traversed within data_lock spin_lock in tasklet
    context to fill channel information from the corresponding vif.
    This means any access to arvifs list for add/del operations
    should also be protected with the same spin_lock to avoid the
    race. Fix this by performing list add/del on arvfis within the
    data_lock. This could fix kernel panic something like the below.
