Subject: [PATCH v2] libertas: detect TX lockups and reset hardware

Recent patches added support for resetting the SD8686 hardware when
commands time out, which seems to happen quite frequently soon after
resuming the system from a Wake-on-WLAN-triggered resume.

At http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/10969 we see the same thing happen
with transmits. In this case, the hardware will fail to respond to
a frame passed for transmission, and libertas (correctly) will block
all further commands and transmissions as the hardware can only
deal with one thing at a time. This results in a lockup while the
system waits indefinitely for the dead card to respond.

Hook up a TX lockup timer to detect this and reset the hardware.

v2: regenerated against wireless-next.git. Compared to the first version,
minor changes were needed to the way the timer is stopped when the interface
is brought down (these routines changed as a result of other recent work).
