[lts-backport-quantal][lts-backport-raring][SRU][PATCH 1/1] rtlwifi: Remove setting of link_state to MAC80211_LINKED

[Joseph Salisbury]

From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger at lwfinger.net>

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1289429

Fix from Larry Finger for a problem that shows up between 3.8.0-36 and 3.8.0-37.   There is no real understanding as to why this line of code does not cause any problems with later kernel versions, but it does here. In addition, we have not had any reports of problems with other users. That suggests some kind of bad interaction with the user-space network control components in 12.04.
