mac80211: re-enable re-transmission of filtered frames
In an earlier commit, mac80211: disable software retry for now Pavel Roskin reported a problem that seems to be due to software retry of already transmitted frames. It turns out that we've never done that correctly, but due to some recent changes it now crashes in the TX code. I've added a comment in the patch that explains the problem better and also points to possible solutions -- which I can't implement right now. I disabled software retry of failed/filtered frames because it was broken. With the work of the previous patches, it now becomes fairly easy to re-enable it by adding a flag indicating that the frame shouldn't be modified, but still running it through the transmit handlers to populate the control information.
