[ Upstream commit 11e3e22fa533f5d7cf04e32343b05a27eda3c7a5 ]

Ignore TXQs with the flag IEEE80211_TXQ_STOP when scheduling a queue.

The flag is only set after all fragments have been dequeued and won't
allow dequeueing other frames as long as the flag is set.

For drivers using ieee80211_txq_schedule_start() this prevents an
loop trying to push the queued frames while IEEE80211_TXQ_STOP is set:

After setting IEEE80211_TXQ_STOP the driver will call
ieee80211_return_txq(). Which calls __ieee80211_schedule_txq(), detects
that there sill are frames in the queue and immediately restarts the
stopped TXQ. Which can't dequeue any frame and thus starts over the loop.
