ath9k: fix various issues in the airtime-fairness implementation

Effects of the bugs could include memory corruption, tx hangs, kernel
crahes, possibly other things as well

+Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: clean up and fix ath_tx_count_airtime
+
+ath_tx_count_airtime is doing a lot of unnecessary work:
+
+- Redundant station lookup
+- Redundant rcu_read_lock/unlock
+- Useless memcpy of bf->rates
+- Useless NULL check of bf->bf_mpdu
+- Redundant lookup of the skb tid
+
+Additionally, it tries to look up the mac80211 queue index from the txq,
+which fails if the frame was delivered via the power save queue.
+
+This patch fixes all of these issues by passing down the right set of
+pointers instead of doing extra work
+
+Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
+Fixes: 63fefa050477 ("ath9k: Introduce airtime fairness scheduling between stations")
