mac80211: fix off-channel mgmt-tx uninitialized variable usage
In the last change here, I neglected to update the cookie in one code path: when a mgmt-tx has no real cookie sent to userspace as it doesn't wait for a response, but is off-channel. The original code used the SKB pointer as the cookie and always assigned the cookie to the TX SKB in ieee80211_start_roc_work(), but my change turned this around and made the code rely on a valid cookie being passed in. Unfortunately, the off-channel no-wait TX path wasn't assigning one at all, resulting in an uninitialized stack value being used. This wasn't handed back to userspace as a cookie (since in the no-wait case there isn't a cookie), but it was tested for non-zero to distinguish between mgmt-tx and off-channel. Fix this by assigning a dummy non-zero cookie unconditionally, and get rid of a misleading comment and some dead code while at it. I'll clean up the ACK SKB handling separately later.
