commit 9926a67557532acb6cddb1c1add02952175b5c72 upstream.

Nicolas Cavallari discovered that carl9170 has some
serious problems delivering data to sleeping stations.

It turns out that the driver was not honoring two
important flags (IEEE80211_TX_CTL_POLL_RESPONSE and
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT) which are set on
frames that should be sent although the receiving
station is still in powersave mode.
