mac80211: don't update the PM state of a peer upon a multicast frame
I changed the way mac80211 updates the PM state of the peer.
I forgot that we could also have multicast frames from the
peer and that those frame should of course not change the
PM state of the peer: A peer goes to power save when it
needs to scan, but it won't send the broadcast Probe Request
with the PM bit set.
This made us mark the peer as awake when it wasn't and then
Intel's firmware would fail to transmit because the peer is
asleep according to its database. The driver warned about
this and it looked like this:
case TX_STATUS_FAIL_DEST_PS:
/* the FW should have stopped the queue and not
* return this status
*/
WARN_ON(1);
info->flags |= IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED;
