Currently sta airtime is updated without any lock in case of
host based airtime calculation. Which may result in accessing the
invalid sta pointer in case of continuous station connect/disconnect.

This patch fix the kernel null pointer dereference by updating the
station airtime with proper RCU lock in case of host based airtime
calculation.

Proceeding with the analysis of "ARM Kernel Panic".
The APSS crash happened due to OOPS on CPU 0.
Crash Signature : Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
