Subject: [PATCH 3.18 13/19] rtlwifi: rtl8192ce: Fix kernel crashes due to missing callback entry

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@...inger.net>

commit f892914c03131a445b926b82815b03162c19288e upstream.

In the major update of the rtlwifi-family of drivers, one of the callback entries
was missed, which leads to memory corruption. Unfortunately, this corruption
never caused a kernel oops, but showed up in other parts of the system.
This patch is one of three needed to fix the kernel regression reported at
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88951.
