The recent commit that moved around TX handlers dropped the sequence
number allocation at the end of ieee80211_tx_dequeue and calls
ieee80211_tx_h_sequence instead (for the non-fast-xmit case).
However, it did not change the fast-xmit sequence allocation condition
in ieee80211_xmit_fast_finish, which skipped seqno alloc if intermediate
tx queues are being used.

Drop the now obsolete condition.

(Think this was introduced in the merging of mac80211-next and net-next?)

Hm. I don't know what tree you're looking at, but it looks like I *did*
in fact resolve this correctly; the (now) erroneous condition doesn't
exist in mac80211 nor in mac80211-next (nor net, net-next, linux).

It does seem to exist in wireless-testing, but that's not something I
can control.

Sorry about that, I should've rechecked this after Johannes did the merge.
I applied this patch (to wireless-testing) and pushed tag wt-2016-10-12.
Let me know of any further issues.

As a check I also diffed against mac80211-next/master and found additional
merge damage in the diff which I fixed up.  Once the merge window closes
in a few days, I'll resync to the masters of all the trees.
