wl1251: fix queue stopping/waking for TX path
The queue stopping/waking functionality was broken in a way that could cause the TX to stall if the right circumstances are met. The problem was caused by tx_work, which is scheduled on each TX operation. If the firmware buffer is full, tx_work does nothing. In combinition with stopped queues or non-continues transfers, tx_work is never scheduled again. Moreover the low watermark introduced by 9df86e2e702c6d5547aced7f241addd2d698bb11 never takes effect because of some old code. Solve this by scheduling tx_work every time tx_queue is non-empty and firmware buffer is freed on tx_complete. This also solves a possible but unlikely case: If less frames than the high watermark are queued, but more than firmware buffer can hold. This results in queues staying awake but the only scheduled tx_work doesn't transfer all frames, so the remaining frames are stuck in the queue until more frames get queued and tx_work is scheduled again.
