Emmanuel Grumbach 189a164d0f mac80211: don't filter out beacons once we start CSA
I hit a bug in which we started a CSA with an action frame,
but the AP changed its mind and didn't change the beacon.
The CSA wasn't cancelled and we lost the connection.

The beacons were ignored because they never changed: they
never contained any CSA IE. Because they never changed, the
CRC of the beacon didn't change either which made us ignore
the beacons instead of processing them.

Now what happens is:
1) beacon has CRC X and it is valid. No CSA IE in the beacon
2) as long as beacon's CRC X, don't process their IEs
3) rx action frame with CSA
4) invalidate the beacon's CRC
5) rx beacon, CRC is still X, but now it is invalid
6) process the beacon, detect there is no CSA IE
7) abort CSA

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
