Sven Eckelmann 07460b92db ath9k: Access rchan::buf only with per_cpu helper
The relayfs was changed to use per CPU constructs to handle the rchan
buffers. But the users of the rchan buffers in other parts of the kernel
were not modified. This caused crashes like

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
