The tid/ac is incorrect either here or in __ieee80211_tx_status() when
tested with ath10k. The ac is set to AC_BE with test done using BK
class traffic, hence the pending airtime get updated for the wrong
txq.
The rest of the patch seems to work as expected, after I did a quick
hack to release the pending airtime from ath10k_txrx_tx_unref()
instead, where the ac/tid can be directly retrieved from struck struct
ieee80211_tx.
