wl1271: Fix TX queue low watermark handling
The number of entries in the TX queue is compared to the low watermark value each time TX completion interrupts are handled. However, the fact that a TX completion arrived does not necessarily mean there are any less skbs in the TX queue. In addition, a TX completion interrupt does not necessarily mean that there are any new available TX blocks. Thus, queuing TX work when the low watermark is reached might not be needed. Fix this by moving the low watermark handling to the TX work function, and avoid queuing TX work in this case.
