[024/289] ath9k: resume aggregation immediately after a hardware reset

[Greg KH]

2.6.36-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit fac6b6a065da42f826088c58bddad82e1b1ccb40 upstream.

Since aggregation is usually triggered by tx completion, a hardware
reset (because of beacon stuck, tx hang or baseband hang) can
significantly delay the transmission of the next AMPDU (until the next
tx completion event).
Fix this by rescheduling aggregation after such a reset.
