mac80211: agg-tx: avoid sending DelBA with sta->lock held

The rate control locking caused a potential deadlock here due to the
locks being acquired in different orders, so that change cannot yet
be applied. However, there's no fundamental reason for this code to
hold the sta->lock while transmitting frames.

Clearly it's better not to hold the lock for longer periods of time,
which can happen here since we call all the way down to the driver.
Change the code a bit to not hold it while doing that.
