ath9k: Wake up for TX in mac80211 timeout=0 sleep mode

When using timeout=0 (PS-Poll) with mac80211, the driver will need to
wake up for TX requests and remain awake until the TX has been
completed (ACK received or timeout) or until the buffer frame(s) have
been received (in case the TX is for a PS-Poll frame).
