Properly handle TX stop for internal queues (iTXQs) within mac80211.
mac80211 must not stop netdev queues when using mac80211 iTXQs.
For these drivers the netdev interface is created with IFF_NO_QUEUE.
While netdev still drops frames for IFF_NO_QUEUE interfaces when we stop
the netdev queues, it also prints a warning when this happens:
Assuming the mac80211 interface is called wlan0 we would get
"Virtual device wlan0 asks to queue packet!" when netdev has to drop a
frame.
This patch is keeping the harmless netdev queue starts for iTXQ drivers.

This is another issue I tripped over while working on the patch to move all
drivers to iTXQ. Didn't want to hide that in the "switch all to iTXQ"
patch. (Which will simply remove all netdev queue starts and stops.)
When running the hwsim tests from hostapd with my WIP patches, I always
got a few "Virtual device XXXX asks to queue packet!" warnings from
netdev. (The offending packets were all from an ipv6 tasklet and looked
like some kind of race for me: While I always would get the message I
did not find a test to do it reproducible.)
