mac80211: fix use-after-free
commit 8c0c709eea5cbab97fb464cd68b06f24acc58ee1 Author: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Date: Wed Nov 25 17:46:15 2009 +0100 mac80211: move cmntr flag out of rx flags moved the CMTR flag into the skb's status, and in doing so introduced a use-after-free -- when the skb has been handed to cooked monitors the status setting will touch now invalid memory. Additionally, moving it there has effectively discarded the optimisation -- since the bit is only ever set on freed SKBs, and those were a copy, it could never be checked. For the current release, fixing this properly is a bit too involved, so let's just remove the problematic code and leave userspace with one copy of each frame for each virtual interface.
