Currently a mac80211 driver can only set the txq_limit when using
wake_tx_queue. Not all drivers use wake_tx_queue. This patch adds a new
element to wiphy allowing a driver to set a custom tx_queue_len and the
code that will apply it in case it is set. The current default is
1000 which is too low for ath11k when doing HE rates.

Fine, but we should really fix ath11k to do something smarter than a
fixed queue len... 4096 packets is 6 seconds of queueing at 8Mbps :/
