ath9k_htc_txcompletion_cb()
The allocated skb should be freed in the TX completion hander,
ath9k_htc_txcompletion_cb() - doing it in htc_connect_service() is wrong, I think.

My only counter argument is that none of the other paths that get to ath9k_htc_txcompletion_cb() leak the skb. It only happens for the path that goes through htc_connect_service().
