ath5k: fix regression in tx status processing
The regression was introduced in the following commit: 0967e01e8e713ed2982fb4eba8ba13794e9a6e89 "ath5k: make use of the new rate control API" ath5k_tx_frame_completed saves the intended per-rate retry counts before they are cleared by ieee80211_tx_info_clear_status, however at this point the information in info->status.rates is incomplete. This causes significant throughput degradation and excessive packet loss on links where high bit rates don't work properly. Move the copy from bf->rates a few lines up to ensure that the saved retry counts are updated, and that they are really cleared in info->status.rates after the call to ieee80211_tx_info_clear_status.
