X-Git-Tag: v2.6.25-rc1~1162^2~61

rc80211-pid: fix last_sample initialization

Fix last_sample initialization. kzalloc'ing the per-STA data wasn't enough,
as jiffies can assume negative values as well. This fixes a bug which
prevented correct PID operation for a while after booting.

Thanks to Michael Buesch for reporting this.
