mac80211: handle MMPDUs at EOSP correctly
If a uAPSD service period ends with an MMPDU, we currently just send that MMPDU, but it obviously won't get the EOSP bit set as it doesn't have a QoS header. This contradicts the standard, so add a QoS-nulldata frame after the MMPDU to properly terminate the service period with a frame that has EOSP set. Also fix a bug wrt. the TID for the MMPDU, it shouldn't be set to 0 unconditionally but use the actual TID that was assigned. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
