ath11k: Don't cast ath11k_skb_cb to ieee80211_tx_info.control
The driver_data area of ieee80211_tx_info is used in ath11k for ath11k_skb_cb. The first function in the TX patch which rewrites it to ath11k_skb_cb is already ath11k_mac_op_tx. No one else in the code path must use it for something else before it reinitializes it. Otherwise the data has to be considered uninitialized or corrupt. But the ieee80211_tx_info.control shares exactly the same area as ieee80211_tx_info.driver_data and ath11k is still using it. This results in best case in a ath11k c000000.wifi1: no vif found for mgmt frame, flags 0x0 or (slightly worse) in a kernel oops. Instead, the interesting data must be moved first into the ath11k_skb_cb and ieee80211_tx_info.control must then not be used anymore.
