This ended up with people reporting they see warnings during heavy traffic. This bought me some time and helped me understand the problem better - apparently fw/hw can report a chained msdus as follows: 1 msdu, 1 chained, 1 msdu (0 length). The patch removes the extra check but leaves the other change that fixed the original skb_push panic bug (msdu_chaining was overwritten in an unfortunate way which made the above example to be treated as non-chained case).
