Subject: [PATCH 5.3 091/135] mac80211: fix station inactive_time shortly after boot

From: Ahmed Zaki <anzaki@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 285531f9e6774e3be71da6673d475ff1a088d675 ]

In the first 5 minutes after boot (time of INITIAL_JIFFIES),
ieee80211_sta_last_active() returns zero if last_ack is zero. This
leads to "inactive time" showing jiffies_to_msecs(jiffies).

 # iw wlan0 station get fc:ec:da:64:a6:dd
 Station fc:ec:da:64:a6:dd (on wlan0)
	inactive time:	4294894049 ms
	.
	.
	connected time:	70 seconds

Fix by returning last_rx if last_ack == 0.
