mac80211: rt2x00: do not increment sequence number while re-transmitting

Currently STA+AP re-transmitting the management frames with
incremented sequence number if hardware is assigning the sequence.

Fix is to assign the sequence number for Beacon by hardware
and for other Management frames software will assign the
sequence number
