mac80211: fix sta assignment
I just had the following:

iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: Attempting to modify non-existing station 107
Note that 107 == 0x6b which is slab poison.
The reason is that mac80211 passed a freed station
pointer to mac80211, because as it happened iwlwifi
reset itself while mac80211 was disconnecting from
the network.
It turns out that we do take care to look up the
station pointer in ieee80211_tx_pending_skb, but
then don't use it, which obviously is a bug. Fix
this by removing the ieee80211_tx_h_sta handler
and assigning the station pointer directly.
