It removes the need for undoing the padding changes to skb->data and it
improves performance by eliminating one tx status lookup per MPDU in the
status path. It is also useful for preparing a follow-up fix to better
handle powersave filtering.
A side effect is that these counters, available via debugfs, become now invalid:
* dot11TransmittedFragmentCount
* dot11FrameDuplicateCount,
* dot11ReceivedFragmentCount
* dot11MulticastReceivedFrameCount
