Subject: [PATCH next] drivers: wireless: carl9170: shrink carl9170_tx_info

its embededded inside rate_driver_data of the ieee80211_tx_info struct,
which in turn is stored in skb->cb[].

In order to shrink cb, we need to shrink ieee80211_tx_info which means
to downsize all users first.

Alternatively, one might be able to remove kref but
its less intrusive/simpler to use u32 for timeout handling.
