ath9k: fix transmit stall issues
This is a backport of these two changes:
ath9k: clean up the code that wakes the mac80211 queues
Instead of spreading ath_wake_mac80211_queue() calls over multiple places
in the tx path that process the tx queue for completion, call it only
where the pending frames counter gets decremented, eliminating some
redundant checks.
To prevent queue draining from waking the queues prematurely (e.g. during
a hardware reset), reset the queue stop state when draining all queues,
as the caller in main.c will run ieee80211_wake_queues(hw) anyway.

ath9k: Fix TX queue stuck issue.
commit 86271e460a66003dc1f4cbfd845adafb790b7587 introduced a
regression that caused mac80211 queues in stopped state.
ath_drain_all_txq is called in driver flush which would reset
the stopped flag and the mac80211 queues were never started
after that. iperf traffic is completely stalled due to this issue.
Restart the mac80211 queues in driver flush only if the txqs were
drained.
