ath9k: fix powersave frame filtering/buffering in AP mode
This patch fixes a long standing issue of pending packets in the queue being
sent (and retransmitted many times) to sleeping stations.
This was made worse by aggregation through driver-internal retransmitting
of A-MDPU subframes.
Previously the hardware tx filter was cleared unconditionally for every
single packet - with this patch it uses the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT
for unaggregated frames.
A sta_notify driver op is added to stop aggregation for stations when they
enter powersave mode. Subframes stay buffered inside the driver, to ensure
that the BlockAck window keeps a sane state.
Since the driver uses software aggregation, the clearing of the tx filter
needs to be handled by the driver instead of mac80211 for aggregated frames.
