cfg80211: validate AID of stations being added
We have some validation code in mac80211 but said code will force an invalid AID to 0 which isn't a valid AID either; instead require a valid AID (1-2007) to be passed in from userspace in cfg80211 already. Also move the code before the race comment since it can only be executed during STA addition and thus is not racy. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
