The wiphy_work infra ensures that the entire worker will run with the wiphy mutex. It is useful to have RX handlers running as a wiphy_work, when we don't want the handler to run in parallel with mac80211 work (to avoid races). For example - BT notification can disable eSR starting from the next patch. In ieee80211_set_active_links we first check that eSR is allowed, (drv_can_activate_links) and then activate it. If the BT notif was received after drv_can_activate_links (which returned true), and before the activation - eSR will be activated when it shouldn't. If BT notif is handled with the wiphy mutex, it can't run in parallel to ieee80211_set_active_links, which also holds that mutex. Add the necessary infrastructure here, for use in the next commit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
