NACK
This patch is correct. There is a logic error in entering/exiting power-save mode. Thus the code part is OK; however, the subject and commit message need to be improved. If I had prepared this patch, my subject would have been "rtlwifi: Fix logic error in enter/exit power-save mode". For the commit message, I would have used the following:
In commit fd09ff958777 ("rtlwifi: Remove extra workqueue for enter/leave power state"), the tests for enter/exit power-save mode were inverted. With this change applied, the wifi connection becomes much more stable.

Thanks for finding this problem.
