PATCH 1/1 rt2x00: Fix TX failure path

The callback function write_tx_data() can only fail when our ENTRY_OWNER_DEVICE_DATA flag on a queue entry failed to determine the entry was not available and it is in fact still owned by the hardware. This means that if that function fails the queue must be stopped in mac80211.

When rt2x00queue_get_queue() returns NULL in the TX path, it means mac80211 has passed us an invalid queue, although this should be impossible, it shouldn't hurt if we send mac80211 a signal to stop the queue either.

Both issues can simply be resolved by removing their manual failure handler and making them use the failure path provided in rt2x00mac_tx().
