Subject: [PATCH] wifi: add sk_requests_wifi_status()

From: Bert Karwatzki <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 21 May 2025 00:34:29 +0200

Checking the SOCK_WIFI_STATUS flag bit in sk_flags, may give a wrong result
since sk_flags are part of a union and the union is used otherwise. Add
a sk_requests_wifi_status() which checks if sk is non-NULL, sk is a full socket
and checks the flag bit.

Fixes: 76a853f86c97 ("wifi: free SKBTX_WIFI_STATUS skb tx_flags flag")

There are two calls to sock_flag(., SOCK_WIFI_STATUS) which I didn't change:
In __sock_recv_wifi_status() (in net/socket.c) which gets called by 
sock_recv_timestamp() and in sk_getsockopt() (in net/core/sock.c). These
existed before the error occured and seem to be fine.
