[PATCH 4.14 005/143] mac80211: Always report TX status

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

[ Upstream commit 8682250b3c1b75a45feb7452bc413d004cfe3778 ]

If a frame is dropped for any reason, mac80211 wouldn't report the TX
status back to user space.

As the user space may rely on the TX_STATUS to kick its state
machines, resends etc, it's better to just report this frame as not
acked instead.
