[PATCH 3.12 098/170] mac80211: fix a memory leak on sta rate selection table

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 53d045258ee2e38b1e882617cb0799a04d05f5fa upstream.

If the rate control algorithm uses a selection table, it
is leaked when the station is destroyed - fix that.
