Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: rtw89: avoid to add interface to list twice when SER

If SER L2 occurs during the WoWLAN resume flow, the add interface flow
is triggered by ieee80211_reconfig(). However, due to
rtw89_wow_resume() return failure, it will cause the add interface flow
to be executed again, resulting in a double add list and causing a kernel
panic. Therefore, we have added a check to prevent double adding of the
list.

list_add double add: new=ffff99d6992e2010, prev=ffff99d6992e2010, next=ffff99d695302628.
