[PATCH 4.4 014/162] iwlwifi: mvm: Send non offchannel traffic via AP sta

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[ Upstream commit dc1aca22f8f38b7e2ad7b118db87404d11e68771 ]

TDLS discovery response frame is a unicast direct frame to the peer.
Since we don't have a STA for this peer, this frame goes through
iwl_tx_skb_non_sta(). As the result aux_sta and some completely
arbitrary queue would be selected for this frame, resulting in a queue
hang. Fix that by sending such frames through AP sta instead.
