When queueing packets for a station, deficit only gets added once the packets
have been transmitted, which could be much later. During that time, a lot of
temporary unfairness could happen, which could lead to bursty behavior.
Fix this by subtracting the aql_tx_pending when checking the deficit in tx
scheduling.
