rt2x00: Make use of sta_add/remove callbacks in rt2800
This allows us to assign a WCID to each STA even for STAs without
crypto key.
To achieve this search for an unused WCID in the HW WCID table and
assign it to the according STA. When configuring a pairwise key for this
STA we don't need to write the MAC address and BSSIDX anymore but just
update the crypto related fields in the WCID_ATTR table.
This has two advantages:
1) Setting a new key for an already available STA (PTK rekeying) is
slightly less expensive and should improve performance in situations
where a lot of rekeying happens (e.g. a huge number of stations and/or
a small rekeying interval)
2) The TXWI now gets a WCID assigned for unencrypted frames which will
be reflected in the corresponding tx status report. This should make tx
status reports in unencrypted AP mode more reliable as we can
distinguish between multiple key-less STAs.

With sequence number and buffer allocation deferred to when they're needed
for the first time, it becomes much easier to start dropping packets from
the tid queue if necessary, e.g. when latency suddenly increases. This can
lead to some future improvements in buffer management for better latency.

ath9k: move the sequence number from ath_frame_info to ath_buf
It is only necessary for BAW tracking and moving it to the ath_buf
makes it easier to add further improvements, such as deferring
seqno allocation in the aggregation path.

ath9k: clean up the aggregation tid queue
Use a sk_buff_head instead containing skbs instead of a list_head
containing ath_bufs. This makes it easier to decouple the aggregation
code from the ath_buf struct
