4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 52a192362932f333a7ebafd581c4d9b81da2fec8 upstream. This reverts commit fb47ada8dc3c30c8e7b415da155742b49536c61e. In some situations when we set TXOP_BACKOFF, the probe frame is not sent at all. What it worse then sending probe frame as part of AMPDU and can degrade 11n performance to 11g rates.
