Amitkumar Karwar d85c5fe462 mwifiex: correct AMSDU aggregation check
The commit "mwifiex: remove list traversal.."(fcf2176c87..)
wrongly modifies AMSDU aggregation check. Due to this even though
packet size for iperf traffic is already large, we unnecessarily
try to aggregate them which adds some delay. If Tx iperf is started
on UUT for 30 seconds, UUT keeps sending Tx packets for few more
seconds.

That commit is reverted to fix the problem.
Also, MIN_NUM_AMSDU check is moved inside the loop to optimize the
loop.

Yogesh Ashok Powar 36cb7cce23 mwifiex: disable transmission buffer aggregation for AMSDU packets
Padding per MSDU will affect the length of next packet and hence
the exact length of next packet is uncertain here.

Also, aggregation of transmission buffer, while downloading the
data to the card, wont gain much on the AMSDU packets as the AMSDU
packets utilizes the transmission buffer space to the maximum
(adapter->tx_buf_size).

Yogesh Ashok Powar fb3c19bc96 mwifiex: adding check for enough space before padding
All MSDUs, except the last one in an AMSDU, should end up at 4
bytes boundary. There is need to check if enough skb_tailroom
space exists before padding the skb.

Also re-arranging code for better readablity.

Yogesh Ashok Powar a8fe32937e mwifiex: Remove redundant skb_queue_empty checks
The check of skb list empty before calling skb_peek and skb_dequeue is
redundant. These functions returns NULL if the list is empty.

Yogesh Ashok Powar fcf2176c87 mwifiex: remove list traversal in mwifiex_num_pkts_in_txq
Instead of counting the number of packets in txq
for particular RA list before AMSDU creation,
maintain a counter which will keep track of the
same.

This will reduce some MIPS while generating AMSDU
traffic as we only have to check the counter instead
of traversing through skb list.

Marc Yang f699254c71 mwifiex: reduce CPU usage by tracking tx_pkts_queued
This patch adds tx_pkts_queued to track number of packets being
enqueued & dequeued so that mwifiex_wmm_lists_empty() evaluation
is lightweight.

Yogesh Ashok Powar 3b8ab88aca mwifiex: use ieee80211_amsdu_to_8023s routine
mwifiex was using its own implementation of converting 802.11n
AMSDU to 802.3s.  This patch removes mwifiex specific
implementation and uses existing ieee80211_amsdu_to_8023s
routine.
