Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 204/268] mac80211: fix mgmt-tx abort cookie and leak

4.2.8-ckt3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

commit e673a65952b4ab045a3e3eb200fdf408004fb4fd upstream.

If a mgmt-tx operation is aborted before it runs, the wrong
cookie is reported back to userspace, and the ack_skb gets
leaked since the frame is freed directly instead of freeing
it using ieee80211_free_txskb(). Fix that.

Fixes: 3b79af973cf4 ("mac80211: stop using pointers as userspace cookies")
