From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit 53d045258ee2e38b1e882617cb0799a04d05f5fa upstream.

If the rate control algorithm uses a selection table, it
is leaked when the station is destroyed - fix that.
