 Use local variables to reduce the number of load/store operations on uncached

A comment in the code would be nice as well. Otherwise later on
someone decides to "optimise" and remove the local variables :)
Makes sense.

  	/* Clear descriptor */
 -	memset(&desc->ud.ds_tx5212, 0, sizeof(struct ath5k_hw_5212_tx_desc));
 +	memset(&desc->ud.ds_tx5212.tx_stat, 0,
 +	       sizeof(desc->ud.ds_tx5212.tx_stat));

Is this an unrelated change? Or maybe I just missed something.
This is related. After my change, all the control fields of the descriptor are properly written to, so the memset only needs to cover the status area.
