mac80211: rework the pending packets code

Browse source

The pending packets code is quite incomprehensible, uses memory barriers
nobody really understands, etc. This patch reworks it entirely, using
the queue spinlock, proper stop bits and the skb queues themselves to
indicate whether packets are pending or not (rather than a separate
variable like before).
