From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <lrodriguez@atheros.com>

This is a backport of upstream commit: e7824a50662f7f79b1a739f705b4d906c31cf221

When mac80211 was telling us to go into Powersave we listened
and immediately turned RX off. This meant hardware would not
see the ACKs from the AP we're associated with and hardware
we'd end up retransmiting the null data frame in a loop
helplessly.

Fix this by keeping track of the transmitted nullfunc frames
and only when we are sure the AP has sent back an ACK do we
go ahead and shut RX off.
