mac80211: rename patches accepted upstream
This is to simplify maintenance. It's easy to say now which patches need some extra work and/or sending upstream. Updating to newer backports should be also simpler with this. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>

+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: round IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_HEADROOM up to multiple
+ of 4
+
+This ensures that mac80211 allocated management frames are properly
+aligned, which makes copying them more efficient.
+For instance, mt76 uses iowrite32_copy to copy beacon frames to beacon
+template memory on the chip.
+Misaligned 32-bit accesses cause CPU exceptions on MIPS and should be
+avoided.
