Create a new function to complete 802.11 mbuf transmission.

Browse Source 
The aim of this function is to eventually be the completion entry point
for all 802.11 encapsulated mbufs.  All the wifi drivers end up doing
what is in this function so it's an easy win to turn it into a net80211
method and abstract out this code.

Ideally the drivers will all eventually be modified to queue up completed
mbufs and call this function with all the driver locks not held.
This will allow for some much more interesting software queue handling
in the future (like net80211 based A-MSDU, fast-frames, A-MPDU aggregation
and retransmission.)

Tested:

* ath(4), iwn(4)

/*
* Complete an mbuf transmission.
*
* For now, this simply processes a completed frame after the
* driver has completed it's transmission and/or retransmission.
* It assumes the frame is an 802.11 encapsulated frame.
*
* Later on it will grow to become the exit path for a given frame
* from the driver and, depending upon how it's been encapsulated
* and already transmitted, it may end up doing A-MPDU retransmission,
* power save requeuing, etc.
*
* In order for the above to work, the driver entry point to this
* must not hold any driver locks. Thus, the driver needs to delay
* any actual mbuf completion until it can release said locks.
*
* This frees the mbuf and if the mbuf has a node reference,
* the node reference will be freed.
