ath9k: another fix for the A-MPDU buffer leak

commit 31e79a5954b78fbed15de2c8974d5a2b6019199a upstream.

The patch 'ath9k: fix a buffer leak in A-MPDU completion' addressed the
issue of running out of buffers/descriptors in the tx path if a STA is
deleted while tx status feedback is still pending.
The remaining issue is that the skbs of the buffers are not reclaimed,
leaving a memory leak.
This patch fixes this issue by running the buffers through
ath_tx_complete_buf(), ensuring that the pending frames counter is also
updated.
