commit b25bfda38236f349cde0d1b28952f4eea2148d3f upstream.

don't do aggregation related stuff for 'AP mode client power save
handling' if aggregation is not enabled in the driver, otherwise it
will lead to panic because those data structures won't be never
intialized in 'ath_tx_node_init' if aggregation is disabled
