Subject: [PATCH 5.4 03/71] mac80211: send ADDBA requests using the tid/queue of the aggregation session

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@....name>

commit 1fe98f5690c4219d419ea9cc190f94b3401cf324 upstream.

Sending them out on a different queue can cause a race condition where a
number of packets in the queue may be discarded by the receiver, because
the ADDBA request is sent too early.
This affects any driver with software A-MPDU setup which does not allocate
packet seqno in hardware on tx, regardless of whether iTXQ is used or not.
The only driver I've seen that explicitly deals with this issue internally
is mwl8k.
