mac80211: reset connection idle when going offchannel
commit 4730d5977f3e12b828d354f7752cffd94bdf39e5 upstream.
When we go offchannel mac80211 currently leaves alive the
connection idle monitor. This should be instead postponed
until we come back to our home channel, otherwise by the
time we get back to the home channel we could be triggering
unecesary probe requests. For APs that do not respond to
unicast probe requests (Nexus One is a simple example) this
means we essentially get disconnected after the probes
fails.
This patch has stable fixes for kernels [2.6.35+]
