[PATCH] ieee80211: Make ieee80211_rx_any usable

[PATCH] ieee80211: Make ieee80211_rx_any usable

[Daniel Drake]

ieee80211_rx_any is new to 2.6.18-rc1, even though it appears this function
was never completed:

http://lists.sipsolutions.net/pipermail/softmac-dev/2006-February/000103.html

This patch changes ieee80211_rx_any to always claim the skb, which avoids
further driver complexity and the possibility of leaking management frames.
It also exports the function so that people can actually use it.

Looks fine to me. I forgot, but I think I didn't complete switching to
ieee80211_rx_any for prism54usb. Now it may be a good time.
