mac80211: document TX aggregation (and small cleanup) 



Add documentation and move ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe to right
after ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb.

/**

 * DOC: TX aggregation

 *

 * Aggregation on the TX side requires setting the hardware flag

 * %IEEE80211_HW_AMPDU_AGGREGATION as well as, if present, the @ampdu_queues

 * hardware parameter to the number of hardware AMPDU queues. If there are no

 * hardware queues then the driver will (currently) have to do all frame

 * buffering.

 *

 * When TX aggregation is started by some subsystem (usually the rate control

 * algorithm would be appropriate) by calling the

 * ieee80211_start_tx_ba_session() function, the driver will be notified via

 * its @ampdu_action function, with the %IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_START action.

 *

 * In response to that, the driver is later required to call the

 * ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb() (or ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe())

 * function, which will start the aggregation session.

 *

 * Similarly, when the aggregation session is stopped by

 * ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session(), the driver's @ampdu_action function will

 * be called with the action %IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP. In this case, the

 * call must not fail, and the driver must later call ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb()

 * (or ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe()).
