ath9k: fix queue stopping threshold

ath9k tries to prevent WMM queue tx buffer starvation caused by
traffic on different queues by limiting the number of pending frames
in a tx queue (tracked in the ath_buf structure). This had a leak
issue, because the a skb can be reassigned to a different ath_buf
in the tx path, causing the pending frame counter to become inaccurate.

To fix this, track the number of frames in an array in the softc,
using the mac80211 queue mapping as index.
