During strong signal fluctuations under high throughput, few consecutive
failed A-MPDU transmissions can easily trigger packet loss notification,
and thus (in AP mode) client disconnection.
Reduce the number of false positives by checking the A-MPDU status flag
and treating a failed A-MPDU as a single packet.
