mwl8k: Traffic to clients gets affected when one client leaves a cyrpto bss
When a client disassociates from a crypto enabled bss, data traffic to
other clients connected to the bss is stalled. This was due to a boolean
variable used to keep track if HW crypto is enabled i.e. if set key has
been called to add a key. This flag was being reset every time delete
key was called e.g when a station leaves the bss. Once the flag is
reset, rx status flags were not being set for connected clients which
disrupts traffic to these clients. Fix this issue by not resetting the
flag since we do not need to reset this flag during the life time of the
bss.

mac80211: Tear down BA session on BAR tx failure
As described at [1] some STAs (i.e. Intel 5100 Windows) can end up
correctly BlockAcking incoming frames without delivering them to user
space if a AMPDU subframe got lost and we don't flush the receipients
reorder buffer with a BlockAckReq. This in turn results in stuck
connections.
According to 802.11n-2009 it is not necessary to send a BAR to flush
the recepients RX reorder buffer but we still do that to be polite.
However, assume the following frame exchange:
AP -> STA, AMPDU (failed)
AP -> STA, BAR (failed)
The client in question then ends up in the same situation and won't
deliver frames to userspace anymore since we weren't able to flush
its reorder buffer.
This is not a hypothetical situation but I was able to observe this
exact behavior during a stress test between a rt2800pci AP and a Intel
5100 Windows client.
In order to work around this issue just tear down the BA session as
soon as a BAR failed to be TX'ed.

ath9k_hw: Fix incorrect spur_freq_sd for AR9003
Spur frequency was incorrectly computed with 10Mhz offset
which could cause the filter would not notch out the spur
and also this could improve rx sensitivity in HT40.

ath9k: do not enable interrupt on set interrupt mask
At preset set_interrupt also enables interrupt after changing
mask. This is not necessary in all cases and also sometime it
breaks the assumption that interrupt was disabled. So let us
enable the interrupt explicity if it was disabled earlier.
This could also avoid unnecessary register ops and also helps
the follow up patch to have global ref count for interrupts ops.
