ath9k: Assign seq# when mac80211 requests this
Use TX control flag IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ as a request to update
the seq# for the frames. This will likely require some further cleanup
to get seq# correctly for Beacons vs. other frames and also potentially
for multiple BSSes. Anyway, this is better than ending up sending out
most frames with seq# 0.
(This is a backport of patch w/ same title already in net-next-2.6.
It is verified to fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11394
and it should be acceptable for -rc due to the driver being new
in 2.6.27.)
