3.16.35-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michal Kazior <michal.kazior@tieto.com>

commit cf44012810ccdd8fd947518e965cb04b7b8498be upstream.

The ieee80211_queue_stopped() expects hw queue
number but it was given raw WMM AC number instead.

This could cause frame drops and problems with
traffic in some cases - most notably if driver
doesn't map AC numbers to queue numbers 1:1 and
uses ieee80211_stop_queues() and
ieee80211_wake_queue() only without ever calling
ieee80211_wake_queues().

On ath10k it was possible to hit this problem in
the following case:

  1. wlan0 uses queue 0
     (ath10k maps queues per vif)
  2. offchannel uses queue 15
  3. queues 1-14 are unused
  4. ieee80211_stop_queues()
  5. ieee80211_wake_queue(q=0)
  6. ieee80211_wake_queue(q=15)
     (other queues are not woken up because both
      driver and mac80211 know other queues are
      unused)
  7. ieee80211_rx_h_mesh_fwding()
  8. ieee80211_select_queue_80211() returns 2
  9. ieee80211_queue_stopped(q=2) returns true
 10. frame is dropped (oops!)
