Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ath9k: fix queue depth check for forming new aggregates

To improve aggregation length, there should not be more than two fully formed
A-MPDU frames in the hardware queue. To ensure this, the code checks the tx
queue length before forming new A-MPDUs. This can reduce the throughput (or
maybe even starve out A-MPDU traffic) when too many non-aggregated frames are
in the queue.
Fix this by keeping track of pending A-MPDU frames (even when they're sent out
as single frames), but exclude rate control probing frames to improve
performance.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ath9k_hw: remove baseband rfsilent support

When rfkill is enabled, ath9k_hw unnecessarily configured the baseband to
turn off based on GPIO input, however that code was hardcoded to GPIO 0
instead of ah->rfkill_gpio.
Since ath9k uses software rfkill anyway, this code is completely unnecessary
and should be removed in case anything else ever uses GPIO 0.
