None of this actually matters, it's all within the select_queue() call
so doesn't need to store it in the skb.

I found it though -- the only thing that ever looks at it is
ieee80211_set_qos_hdr() to set the QoS header TID, and presumably that's
what ath9k complains about (hwsim is happy to just push packets.)
