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

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

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 53d045258ee2e38b1e882617cb0799a04d05f5fa upstream.

If the rate control algorithm uses a selection table, it
is leaked when the station is destroyed - fix that.
