+Is possible that we will arm the tid_rx->reorder_timer after
+del_timer_sync() in ___ieee80211_stop_rx_ba_session(). We need to stop
+timer after RCU grace period finish, so move it to
+ieee80211_free_tid_rx(). Timer will not be armed again, as
+rcu_dereference(sta->ampdu_mlme.tid_rx[tid]) will return NULL.
+
+Debug object detected problem with the following warning:
+ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object type: timer_list hint: sta_rx_agg_reorder_timer_expired+0x0/0xf0 [mac80211]
+
+Bug report (with all warning messages):
+https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804007
