[PATCH 4.9 014/206] mac80211: initialize fast-xmit info later

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 35f432a03e41d3bf08c51ede917f94e2288fbe8c upstream.

In ieee80211_xmit_fast(), 'info' is initialized to point to the skb
that's passed in, but that skb may later be replaced by a clone (if
it was shared), leading to an invalid pointer.

This can lead to use-after-free and also later crashes since the
real SKB's info->hw_queue doesn't get initialized properly.

Fix this by assigning info only later, when it's needed, after the
skb replacement (may have) happened.
