Note that while this will fix compilation it probably won't work right.
next_txq() is not guaranteed to return the same txq as was previously
passed in the wake_tx_queue() argument, so if this is the only place the
driver calls next_txq(), things are likely going to break.

Rather, the driver should call next_txq() whenever it schedules queues
instead of doing its own internal scheduling.

Yeah, hadn't expected these streams to cross either. If Felix is looking
into this that is great; let me know if you need me to do anything else
on the mac80211 side. :)
