On receiving an IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_START notification, packets destined to
that TID are stored in a buffer, and to send them out as aggregates, ath9k
needs to know whether the ADDBA exchange has completed or not.

If the ADDBA request has been declined, IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP is sent to
the driver, but no notification is sent if the ADDBA request has been accepted.
