Subject: [PATCH v2] 802.11n IBSS: wlan0 stops receiving packets due to aggregation after sender reboot

Fix a bug where the mac80211 RX aggregation code sets a new aggregation
"session" at the remote station's request, but the head_seq_num
(the sequence number the receiver expects to receive) isn't reset.

Spotted on a pair of AR9580 in IBSS mode.
