4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Felix Fietkau <n...@nbd.name>
commit 6b07d9ca9b5363dda959b9582a3fc9c0b89ef3b5 upstream.
The code currently assumes that buffered multicast PS frames don't have
a pending ACK frame for tx status reporting.
However, hostapd sends a broadcast deauth frame on teardown for which tx
status is requested. This can lead to the "Have pending ack frames"
warning on module reload.
Fix this by using ieee80211_free_txskb/ieee80211_purge_tx_queue.
