iwlwifi: use ieee80211_tx_status
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We currently use the _irqsafe version, but that
isn't recommended together with ieee80211_rx()
as it can cause races. If the device reports
a TX-status and RX in that order then with the
current combination mac80211 might process them
in the other order, which can cause issues with
powersaving clients.

Use ieee80211_tx_status() to avoid this race.
Since we don't want to call it with locks held,
process the frame queues later -- this is fine
as they are on the stack.
