2.6.30-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Luis R. Rodriguez commit 416fbdff2137e8d8cc8f23f517bee3a26b11526f upstream. We splice skbs from the pending queue for a TID onto the local pending queue when tearing down a block ack request. This is not necessary unless we actually have received a request to start a block ack request (rate control, for example). If we never received that request we should not be splicing the tid pending queue as it would be null, causing a panic. Not sure yet how exactly we allowed through a call when the tid state does not have at least HT_ADDBA_REQUESTED_MSK set, that will require some further review as it is not quite obvious.
