iwlwifi: avoid Tx queue memory allocation in interface down

Browse source 
We used to free all the Tx queues memory when interface is brought
down and reallocate them again in interface up. This requires
order-4 allocation for txq->cmd[]. In situations like s2ram, this
usually leads to allocation failure in the memory subsystem. The
patch fixed this problem by allocating the Tx queues memory only at
the first time. Later iwl_down/iwl_up only initialize but don't
free and reallocate them. The memory is freed at the device removal
time. BTW, we have already done this for the Rx queue.

This fixed bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15551
