3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johannes Berg <[email protected]>

commit 342bbf3fee2fa9a18147e74b2e3c4229a4564912 upstream.

If we only monitor while associated, the following
can happen:
 - we're associated, and the queue stuck check
   runs, setting the queue "touch" time to X
 - we disassociate, stopping the monitoring,
   which leaves the time set to X
 - almost 2s later, we associate, and enqueue
   a frame
 - before the frame is transmitted, we monitor
   for stuck queues, and find the time set to
   X, although it is now later than X + 2000ms,
   so we decide that the queue is stuck and
   erroneously restart the device

It happens more with P2P because there we can
go between associated/unassociated frequently.
