staging: wfx: fix BA sessions for older firmwares
Firmwares with API < 3.6 do not forward DELBA requests. Thus, when a Block Ack session is restarted, the reordering buffer is not flushed and the received sequence number is not contiguous. Therefore, mac80211 starts to wait some missing frames that it will never receive. This patch disables the reordering buffer for old firmware. It is harmless when the network is unencrypted. When the network is encrypted, the non-contiguous frames will be thrown away by the TKIP/CCMP replay protection. So, the user will observe some packet loss with UDP and performance drop with TCP.
