This patch simplifies the tx code a bit and will be necessary for
the upcoming stlc45xx<->p54 port.

In detail: we no longer have to tell all back-end drivers directly,
if we want to free a frame right after it was send to the firmware,
or if we do it in the library callback later.

This patch moves a good chunk of code from the former statistic update
timer routine into a workqueue, which is kindly provided by mac80211.

Also as a nice side-effect we can lay the foundation for other
essential housekeeping features we want to do in the future.
e.g:
 - drain the (clogged) tx_queue.
 - initiate bursts.

Alan Stern found several flaws in p54usb's implementation and annotated:
"usb_kill_urb() and similar routines do not expect an URB's completion
routine to deallocate it.  This is almost obvious -- if the URB is deallocated
before the completion routine returns then there's no way for usb_kill_urb
to detect when the URB actually is complete."

This patch addresses all known limitations in the old implementation and fixes
khub's "use-after-freed" hang, when SLUB debug's poisoning option is enabled.

I've come to think that not providing sequence numbers for

now had to implement code they wouldn't otherwise need, and
I believe at76_usb and adm8211 might be broken.

This patch makes mac80211 assign a sequence number to all
those frames that need one except beacons. That means that
if a driver only implements modes that do not do beaconing
it need not worry about the sequence number.
