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()).
