2.6.36-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: =?UTF-8?q?Bj=C3=B6rn=20Smedman?= <bjorn.smedman@venatech.se>

commit a8909cfb1832ac623142898df2a9374722cfe68f upstream.

This patch attempts to ensure that ath9k's built-in rate control algorithm
does not rely on the value of the ampdu_len and ampdu_ack_len tx status
fields unless the IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU flag is set.

This patch has not been tested.
