Subject: [PATCH 2.6.39] mac80211: initialize sta->last_rx in sta_info_alloc

This field is used to determine the inactivity time. When in AP mode,
hostapd uses it for kicking out inactive clients after a while. Without this
patch, hostapd immediately deauthenticates a new client if it checks the
inactivity time before the client sends its first data frame.
