Subject: [PATCH 4.14 051/143] iwlwifi: dbg: allow wrt collection before ALIVE

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

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

[ Upstream commit dfd4b08cf44f27587e2053e006e43a1603328006 ]

Even if no ALIVE was received, the WRT data can still
be collected. Add this.
