Subject: [PATCH 5.15 009/177] mac80211: mark TX-during-stop for TX in in_reconfig

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

commit db7205af049d230e7e0abf61c1e74c1aab40f390 upstream.

Mark TXQs as having seen transmit while they were stopped if
we bail out of drv_wake_tx_queue() due to reconfig, so that
the queue wake after this will make them catch up. This is
particularly necessary for when TXQs are used for management
packets since those TXQs won't see a lot of traffic that'd
make them catch up later.
