ath9k_htc: Add a timer to cleanup WMI events

Occasionally, a WMI event would arrive ahead of the TX
URB completion handler. Discarding these events would exhaust
the available TX slots, so handle them by running a timer
cleaning up such events. Also, timeout packets for which TX
completion events have not arrived.

ath9k_htc: Drain pending TX frames properly

When doing a channel set or a reset operation the pending
frames queued up for transmission have to be flushed and
sent to mac80211. Fixing this has to be done in two separate
steps:

* Flush queued frames and kill the URB TX completion handler.
* Complete all the frames that in the TX pending queue.

This patch adds proper support for draining and all the callsites
namely, channel change/reset/idle/stop are fixed. A separate queue
is used for handling failed frames.

A new routine that takes an endpoint explicitly is

While at it, use a helper function to map the queue to endpoint.

Data/mgmt/beacon packets use htc_send(), while WMI comamnds
pass the endpoint to HTC.

For all packets sent through the USB_WLAN_TX_PIPE endpoint,
the private area of the SKB's tx_info can be used to store

this will not make a difference since they are routed through a
separate routine that doesn't access the private region.

This would help in situations where TX information is required
