Subject: mac80211: check skb_linearize() return value
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 0b97a484e52cb423662eb98904aad82dafcc1f10 upstream.
The A-MSDU TX code (within TXQs) didn't always check the return value
of skb_linearize() properly, resulting in potentially passing a frag-
list SKB down to the driver even when it said it can't handle it. Fix
that.
