mac80211: don't clear all tx flags when requeing
When acting as AP and a PS-Poll frame is received associated station is marked as one in a Service Period. This state is kept until Tx status for released frame is reported. While a station is in Service Period PS-Poll frames are ignored. However if PS-Poll was received during A-MPDU teardown it was possible to have the to-be released frame re-queued back to pending queue. In such case the frame was stripped of 2 important flags: (a) IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER (b) IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP Stripping of (a) led to the frame that was to be released to be queued back to ps_tx_buf queue. If station remained to use only PS-Poll frames the re-queued frame (and new ones) was never actually transmitted because mac80211 would ignore subsequent PS-Poll frames due to station being in Service Period. There was nothing left to clear the Service Period bit (no xmit -> no tx status -> no SP end), i.e. the AP would have the station stuck in Service Period. Beacon TIM would repeatedly prompt station to poll for frames but it would get none. Once (a) is not stripped (b) becomes important because it's the main condition to clear the Service Period bit of the station when Tx status for the released frame is reported back. This problem was observed with ath9k acting as P2P GO in some testing scenarios but isn't limited to it. AP operation with mac80211 based Tx A-MPDU control combined with clients using PS-Poll frames is subject to this race.
