rt2800 hardware sometimes reorders tx frames when transmitting to
multiple BA enabled STAs concurrently.
For example a tx queue
[ STA1 | STA2 | STA1 | STA2 ]
can result in the tx status reports
[ STA1 | STA1 | STA2 | STA2 ]
when the hw decides to put the frames for STA1 in one AMPDU.
To mitigate this effect associate the currently processed tx status
to the first frame in the tx queue with a matching wcid.
This patch fixes several problems related to incorrect tx status
reporting. Furthermore the tx rate selection is much more stable when
communicating with multiple STAs.
