mac80211: go out of PS before sending disassoc
on disassoc, ieee80211_set_disassoc() goes out of PS before indicating BSS_CHANGED_ASSOC (not sure why this is needed, but some drivers might count on the current behavior). However, it does it after sending the disassoc frame, which results in null-data frame being sent (in order to go out of ps) after we were already sent the disassoc, which is invalid. Fix it by going out of ps before sending the disassoc. Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller <eliad@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
