mac80211: refcount aggregation queue stop

mac80211 currently maintains the ampdu_lock to
avoid starting a queue due to one aggregation
session while another aggregation session needs
the queue stopped.

We can do better, however, and instead refcount
the queue stops for this particular purpose,
thus removing the need for the lock. This will
help making ampdu_action able to sleep.
