First round of fixes - details in the commits:
* use a valid hrtimer clock ID in mac80211_hwsim
* don't reorder frames prior to BA session
* flush a delayed work at suspend so the state is all valid before
suspend/resume
* fix packet statistics in fast-RX, the RX packets
counter increment was simply missing
* don't try to re-transmit filtered frames in an aggregation session
* shorten (for tracing) a debug message
* typo fix in another debug message
* fix nul-termination with HWSIM_ATTR_RADIO_NAME in hwsim
* fix mgmt RX processing when station is looked up by driver/device
mac80211: use driver-indicated transmitter STA only for data frames
When I originally introduced using the driver-indicated station as an
optimisation to avoid the hashtable lookup/iteration, of course it
wasn't intended to really functionally change anything.
I neglected, however, to take into account VLAN interfaces, which have
the property that management and data frames are handled differently:
data frames go directly to the station and the VLAN while management
frames continue to be processed over the underlying/associated AP-type
interface. As a consequence, when a driver used this optimisation for
management frames and the user enabled VLANs, my change broke things
since any management frames, particularly disassoc/deauth, were missed
by hostapd.
Fix this by restoring the original code path for non-data frames, they
aren't critical for performance to begin with.
This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194713.
Big thanks goes to Jarek who bisected the issue and provided a very
detailed bug report, including the crucial information that he was
using VLANs in his configuration.
