ath9k's tx handling code contains a special case for PAE frames, which
looks like it was intended to be improving reliability by excluding
them from aggregates.
What it actually did is the opposite: By assigning a faulty sequence
number, yet still keeping it as a qos-frame, it caused bogus packet
reordering, which broke WPA rekeying.
The special case handling is completely unnecessary, so this patch
removes it.
