[PATCH] mac80211: clear txflags for ps-filtered frames

[Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com>]

This patch fixes stale mac80211_tx_control_flags for
filtered / retried frames.

Because ieee80211_handle_filtered_frame injects the skbs
back into the tx path, they have to be stripped of old tx
flags so they won't confuse the stack, driver or device.

hmm, we are running out of bits. 

Anyway, here is v1 (with define + doc). Not sure if this is sufficient.
