Subject: [PATCH 0/1] sta_info: fix insane values in iw sta dump "inactive time"

While working on an IBSS network with ath10k-ct, the iw station dump
shows insanly high values in the "inactive time". The values are
clearly the initial jiifies of the system.

Debugging showed that this happens when the ieee80211_sta_last_active
is called while last_ack == 0. In this case, it returns zero and the
inactive time shows the system jiffies. This continues until the
jiffies wrap back to zero (about 5 minutes).
