Subject[PATCH 3.11 073/198] mac80211: fix a memory leak on sta rate selection table
Date
3.11.10.13 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org>

commit 53d045258ee2e38b1e882617cb0799a04d05f5fa upstream.

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