3.13.11.3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com>

commit 5998be879719384af2014b79697eed6e38ee2706 upstream.

Since commit 558ff225de80ac95b132d3a115ddadcd64498b4f (ath9k: fix
ps-poll responses under a-mpdu sessions) non-data frames would have
gotten a sequence number from a TIDs sequence counter instead of
using the global sequence counter.

This can lead to instable connections.

To fix this only select the correct TID if we are processing a
data frame. Furthermore, prevent non-data frames to get a sequence
number from a TID sequence counter by adding a check to
ath_tx_setup_buffer.
