mac80211: Add stations iterator where the iterator function may sleep
ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() and ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_atomic() already exist, where the former allows the iterator function to sleep. Add ieee80211_iterate_stations() which is similar to ieee80211_iterate_stations_atomic() but allows the iterator to sleep. This is needed for adding SDIO support to the rtw88 driver. Some interators there are reading or writing registers. With the SDIO ops (sdio_readb, sdio_writeb and friends) this means that the iterator function may sleep.
