mac80211: document TX aggregation (and small cleanup) 

Add documentation and move ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe to right
after ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb.

/**
* DOC: TX aggregation
*
* Aggregation on the TX side requires setting the hardware flag
* %IEEE80211_HW_AMPDU_AGGREGATION as well as, if present, the @ampdu_queues
* hardware parameter to the number of hardware AMPDU queues. If there are no
* hardware queues then the driver will (currently) have to do all frame
* buffering.
*
* When TX aggregation is started by some subsystem (usually the rate control
* algorithm would be appropriate) by calling the
* ieee80211_start_tx_ba_session() function, the driver will be notified via
* its @ampdu_action function, with the %IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_START action.
*
* In response to that, the driver is later required to call the
* ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb() (or ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe())
* function, which will start the aggregation session.
*
* Similarly, when the aggregation session is stopped by
* ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session(), the driver's @ampdu_action function will
* be called with the action %IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_STOP. In this case, the
* call must not fail, and the driver must later call ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb()
* (or ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe()).
