Subject: [ 13/74] iwlwifi: mvm: take the seqno from packet if transmit failed

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

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

From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@...el.com>

commit ebea2f32e814445f94f9e087b646f1cf4d55fa5a upstream.

The fw is unreliable in all the cases in which the packet
wasn't sent.
