stashed away in ath_node.
As much as I tried to stuff that behind the ATH_NODE lock, unfortunately
the locking is just too plain hairy (for me! And I wrote it!) to do
cleanly. Hence using atomics here instead of a lock. The ATH_NODE lock
just isn't currently used anywhere besides the rate control updates.
If in the future everything gets migrated back to using a single ATH_NODE
lock or a single global ATH_TX lock (ie, a single TX lock for all TX and
TX completion) then fine, I'll remove the atomics.
