carl9170: remove lost-frame workaround
This patch removes some cruft, which survived the RFC review phase. Originally, carl9170_tx_ampdu_queue erroneously dropped a lot of frames. As a result the ampdu scheduler bogged down quite frequently and the affected BA session timed out. However this bug has been fixed and the WA and its debugfs counter is no longer useful.
