ath9k: use ieee80211_tx_status_noskb where possible

Browse source

It removes the need for undoing the padding changes to skb->data and it
improves performance by eliminating one tx status lookup per MPDU in the
status path. It is also useful for preparing a follow-up fix to better
handle powersave filtering.

A side effect is that these counters, available via debugfs, become now invalid:

* dot11TransmittedFragmentCount
* dot11FrameDuplicateCount,
* dot11ReceivedFragmentCount
* dot11MulticastReceivedFrameCount
