As ieee80211_bss_get_ie() derefences an RCU to return ssid_ie, both
the call to this function and any operation on this variable need
protection by the RCU read lock.

Fixes: 44905265bc15 ("nl80211: don't expose wdev->ssid for most interfaces")

OK, done that (and updated the commit message), and testet it.

Thanks,
