[PATCH] nl80211: Provide access to STA TX/RX packet counters

[Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com>]

The TX/RX packet counters are needed to fill in RADIUS Accounting
attributes Acct-Output-Packets and Acct-Input-Packets. We already
collect the needed information, but only the TX/RX bytes were
previously exposed through nl80211. Allow applications to fetch the
packet counters, too, to provide more complete support for accounting.
