4.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 6dd80efd75ce7c2dbd9f117cf585ee2b33a42ee1 ]
Pausing queue without checking threshold is racy with txdone path.
Moreover we do not need pause queue on any error, but only if queue
is full - in case when we send RTS frame ( other cases of almost full
queue are already handled in rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame() ).
Patch fixes of theoretically possible problem of pausing empty
queue.
