[ 20/82] ath9k: fix a use-after-free-bug when ath_tx_setup_buffer() fails

[Greg KH]

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

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

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 81357a281dcc454841532c46b30e6f2ba12b73ea upstream.

ath_tx_setup_buffer() can fail if there is no ath_buf left, or if mapping DMA
failed. In this case it frees the skb passed to it.
If ath_tx_setup_buffer is called from ath_tx_form_aggr, the skb is still
linked into the tid buffer list and must be dequeued before being released.
