"Input packets dropped" isn't really a good description of what
happened when we failed to allocate a new node in the net80211 stack.
This allocation doesn't happen for every packet, only for new nodes
that appear in reach of the antenna.
And we already mention "nodes" elsewhere in the output:
p(is_tx_nonode, "\t%lu output packet%s failed for no nodes\n");
p(is_node_timeout, "\t%lu node%s timed out\n");
