[patch] backport of ral(4) reliability fix for 3.8
Attached is a backport of the ral(4) fix about to be released in 3.9 ID'd as: "don't try to release references to nodes that have been freed by net80211. in HostAP mode, when switching to the INIT state, net80211 sends a DISASSOC and a DEAUTH frame to all associated stations and immediately free all the nodes while we may still hold references to them in our Tx queues. hopefully, this should fix PRs 4469/kernel and 4953/kernel." I needed this to work now and couldn't get snapshots or wait for my disk to ship so I backported the change. Maybe some of you will find the patch useful. - Roman [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/octet-stream which had a name of ralfix-3.8.patch]
