Commit 6c17b77b67587b9f9e3070fb89fe98cef3187131 (mac80211: Fix tx queue
handling during scans) contains a bug that causes off-channel frames to
get queued when they should be handed down to the driver for transmit.
Prevent this from happening.
Reported-by: Fabio Rossi <rossi.f@xxxxxxxxx>

Fabio, this patch should fix the problem. Can you verify?
Johannes, this prevents the off-channel frames from getting queued
without affecting the fast path. It does however make the indentation
awfully deep ...
