On each TX descriptor allocation, a free entry is found by traversing the TX
descriptors array.
Improve this by holding a bitmap of all TX descriptors, and using efficient
bit operations to search for free entries.

While wl1271_irq_work handles RX directly (by calling wl1271_rx), a different
work is scheduled for transmitting packets. The IRQ work might handle more than
one interrupt during a single call, including multiple TX completion
interrupts. This might starve TX, since no packets are transmitted until all
interrupts are handled.
Fix this by calling the TX work function directly, instead of deferring
it.

In case the aggregation buffer is too small to hold all available packets,
the buffer is transferred to the FW and no more packets are aggregated.
Although there may be enough available TX blocks, no additional packets will
be handled by the current TX work.
Fix this by flushing the aggregation buffer when it's full, and continue
transferring packets as long as there are enough available TX blocks.

The mac80211 changes to idle almost immediately after transmitting some
frames, such as deauth etc. When going to idle, the wl1271 is disconnected,
which causes TX frames already on buffers, but not yet transmitted, to be
deleted.
To make sure deauth frames reach the air, allow the TX buffers to flush
before proceeding to idle.
