[PATCH 11/13] wifi: mt76: mt7925: fix BA session teardown during beacon loss

From: Zac Bowling <zac at zacbowling.com>

The ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe() callback was conditionally called
only when the MCU command succeeded. However, during beacon connection
loss, the MCU command may fail because the AP is no longer reachable.

If the callback is not called, mac80211's BA session state machine gets
stuck in an intermediate state. When mac80211 later tries to tear down
all BA sessions during disconnection, it hits a WARN in
__ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session() due to the inconsistent state.

Fix by making the callback unconditional, matching the behavior of
mt7921 and mt7996 drivers. The MCU command failure is acceptable during
disconnection - what matters is that mac80211 is notified to complete
the session teardown.
