Subject: [ 017/127] iwlwifi: mvm: Prevent setting assoc flag in MAC_CONTEXT_CMD

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

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

From: Alexander Bondar <alexander.bondar@...el.com>

commit ba283927268d45184c17c37ff78d427e59026229 upstream.

In the normal flow first MAC_CONTEXT_CMD for particular interface is
never sent while associated. The exception is fw restart flow when
resuming from suspend when WoWLAN is enabled. In this case successive
"add" and "modify" MAC_CONTEXT_CMD commands may be sent with assoc flag
set what cause FW mal functioning. To prevent this never set assoc flag
in MAC_CONTEXT_CMD with action "add".
