We can easily run out of tx buf if there is any stuck in
transmission, so downgrade it to WARN_ON().

When we reclaim the tx desc, we always assume that the
last desc is a holding desc, which is not true, and skip it.
If the tx queue is drained during channel change, internal
reset and etc, the last descriptor may not be the holding
descriptor and we fail to reclaim them. This results in the
following two issues.
1. Tx stuck - We drop all the frames coming from upper layer
due to shortage in tx desc.
2. Crash - If we fail to reclaim a tx descriptor, we miss to
update the tx BA window with the seq number of the frame
associated to that desc, which, at some point, result in
the following crash due to an assert failure in ath_tx_addto_baw().
This patch fixes these two issues.

This patch along with my previous patch in mac80211 "Fix the
way ADDBA count..", fixes hang in tx when connected to an HT
AP which rejects/times out on addba req.
AGGR_ADDBA_PROGRESS should be cleared in aggr state when addba
negotiation is terminated due to either addba response is timed out
or addba is denied by the AP. With out clearing this bit,
all frames are queued onto s/w queue for getting tx'd as aggr and
will never be scheduled onto hw queue.

When using timeout=0 (PS-Poll) with mac80211, the driver will need to
wake up for TX requests and remain awake until the TX has been
completed (ACK received or timeout) or until the buffer frame(s) have
been received (in case the TX is for a PS-Poll frame).

On x86 this allows us to do the following small savings:
shave off 23 % off of the module's data, and
shave off 6 % off of the module's text.
We save 456 bytes, for those counting.

We currently have two beacon interval configuration knobs:
hw.conf.beacon_int and vif.bss_info.beacon_int. This is
rather confusing, even though the former is used when we
beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to
an AP.
This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour
of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all
the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for
the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily.
NOTE: The hw.conf.beacon_int setting is retained for now due
to drivers still using it -- I couldn't untangle all
drivers, some are updated in this patch.
