Realtek 8187B has a receive command queue to feedback beacon interrupt
and transmitted packet status. Use it to feedback mac80211 about status
of transmitted packets. Unfortunately in the course of testing I found
that the sequence number reported by hardware includes entire sequence
control in a 12 bit only field, so a workaround is done to check only
lowest bits.

v2: fix rate stuck at 1M reported by Larry Finger, Hin-Tak and also seen by me.
btw, I noted now with a ralink device that rt2500usb (rt2x00) has same
issue currently.
Hin-Tak: didn't add your tested-by yet as this patch has v2 fix comparing to
others, please test it again so I can add your tested-by
