Daniel Mack 271f1e65ff wcn36xx: don't keep reference to skb if transmission failed
When wcn36xx_dxe_tx_frame() fails to transmit the TX frame, the driver
will call into ieee80211_free_txskb() for the skb in flight, so it'll no
longer be valid. Hence, we shouldn't keep a reference to it in ctl->skb.
Also, if the skb has IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS set, a pointer to
it will currently remain in wcn->tx_ack_skb, which will potentially lead
to a crash if accessed later.

Fix this by checking the return value of wcn36xx_dxe_tx_frame(), and
nullify wcn->tx_ack_skb again in case of errors. Move the assignment
of ctl->skb in wcn36xx_dxe_tx_frame() so it only happens when the
transmission is successful.

README

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
