+    ath9k: fix aggregation session lockup
+    
+    If an aggregation session fails, frames still end up in the driver queue
+    with IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU set.
+    This causes tx for the affected station/tid to stall, since
+    ath_tx_get_tid_subframe returning packets to send.
+    
+    Fix this by clearing IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU as long as no aggregation
+    session is running.
