This also includes my git fixes for correctly handling packet queue flushes during reset, but this bug will occur regardless.
>Description:
A node flush is causing the BA window to be completely messed up, resulting in TX timeouts.

It's currently unknown why ath_tx_tid_drain() was called - that's called from:

* ath_tx_txq_drain()
* ath_tx_node_flush()

The former is called during ath_tx_draintxq(); the latter is called from ath_node_cleanup(). So either it's being called during ath_reset(sc, ATH_RESET_DEFAULT or ATH_RESET_FULL); or ic_node_cleanup.

A log snippet:

ath1: ath_tx_aggr_comp_aggr: TID 0: send BAR; seq 3784
ath1: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4)

>How-To-Repeat:
Just general hostap use. The question is how/why the node flush occured.
