If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ [ Upstream commit 6eae4a6c2be387fec41b0d2782c4fffb57159498 ] In our environment running lots of mesh nodes, we are seeing the pending queue hang periodically, with the debugfs queues file showing lines such as: 00: 0x00000000/348 i.e. there are a large number of frames but no stop reason set. One way this could happen is if queue processing from the pending tasklet exited early without processing all frames, and without having some future event (incoming frame, stop reason flag, ...) to reschedule it. Exactly this can occur today if ieee80211_tx() returns false due to packet drops or power-save buffering in the tx handlers. In the past, this function would return true in such cases, and the change to false doesn't seem to be intentional. Fix this case by reverting to the previous behavior.
