ath9k_hw: fix interpretation of the rx KeyMiss flag

This commit used the rx key miss indication to detect packets that were
passed from the hardware without being decrypted, however it seems that
this bit is not only undefined in the static WEP case, but also for
dynamically allocated WEP keys. This caused a regression when using
WEP-LEAP.

After association, STA will go through eapol handshake with WPS enabled AP. It's observed that WPS handshake fails with some 11n AP. The reason for the failure is that the eapol packet is sent via 11n frame aggregation. The eapol packet should be sent directly without 11n aggregation.

Currently we check the sequence number of last packet received against start_win. If a sequence hole is detected, start_win is updated to next sequence number. Since the rx sequence number is initialized to 0, a corner case exists when BA setup happens immediately after association. As 0 is a valid sequence number, start_win gets increased to 1 incorrectly. This causes the first packet with sequence number 0 being dropped. Initialize rx sequence number as 0xffff and skip adjusting start_win if the sequence number remains 0xffff.
