Subject: [PATCH 5.15 017/167] wifi: mac80211: fix queue selection for mesh/OCB interfaces

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

commit 50e2ab39291947b6c6c7025cf01707c270fcde59 upstream.

When using iTXQ, the code assumes that there is only one vif queue for
broadcast packets, using the BE queue. Allowing non-BE queue marking
violates that assumption and txq->ac == skb_queue_mapping is no longer
guaranteed. This can cause issues with queue handling in the driver and
also causes issues with the recent ATF change, resulting in an AQL
underflow warning.
