Subject: mwifiex: fix IBSS data path issue.

From: chunfan chen <[email protected]>

commit dc386ce76dedaeeaaf006fceb6ed8cf2e20ff026 upstream.

The port_open flag is not applicable for IBSS mode. IBSS data path was broken when port_open flag was introduced. This patch fixes the problem by correcting the checks.

Fixes 5c8946330abfa4c ("mwifiex: enable traffic only when port is open")
