wifi: mt76: mt7603: fix U-APSD service period termination

Browse source

Frames released from the driver PS queue were all tagged with MORE_DATA
and none of them ever carried the EOSP bit, so from the client's point of
view a U-APSD service period was started but never finished. Clients that
keep their receiver on until EOSP arrives stop sending trigger frames,
and all downlink traffic for that station stalls until they give up.
ieee80211_sta_eosp() only cleared the service period state inside
mac80211, which is why the mismatch went unnoticed.

Assign MORE_DATA per frame and set the wire EOSP bit on the last one. If
the last released frame is a bufferable MMPDU it has no QoS control field
to carry EOSP, so let mac80211 append a QoS-Null frame instead.

Also stop handing the remaining frame budget to
mt76_release_buffered_frames() once frames have been released from the PS
queue: both would signal the end of the same service period. Releasing
fewer frames than requested is allowed, and MORE_DATA tells the client to
trigger again.
