rt2x00: Fix ieee80211 payload alignment
As Johannes Berg indicated, the NET_IP_ALIGN doesn't
need to be used for ieee80211 frames. This means we
can simplify the alignment calculation to just
use the result of the header size modulus 4 as frame
alignment.
Furthermore we shouldn't use NET_IP_ALIGN in rt2x00usb
because it could be 0 on some architectures and we absolutely
need to have 2 bytes reserved for possible aligning.
