Igor,

I validated hostpad inactivity monitoring with this change and Hostapd is sending
Nulldata periodically for inactive stations. Hostapd resets timer based on tx ack
status of nulldata. So retaining actual station inactive period will not break
hostapd monitoring.

Please report if you see any issue with this change. Thanks for your feedback.
