ieee80211_find_sta_by_ifaddr() must be called under the RCU lock and
the resulting pointer is only valid under RCU lock as well.

Fix mt76_check_sta() to hold RCU read lock before it calls
ieee80211_find_sta_by_ifaddr() and release it when the resulting
pointer is no longer needed.

This problem was found while reviewing code to debug RCU warn from
ath10k_wmi_tlv_parse_peer_stats_info() and a subsequent manual audit
of other callers of ieee80211_find_sta_by_ifaddr() that don't hold
RCU read lock.

If I'm not mistaken, this patch is unnecessary. mt76_check_sta is only
called from mt76_rx_poll_complete, which itself is only called under RCU
lock.
