When we act as an AP, new firmware versions handle
internally the power saving clients and the driver doesn't
know that the peers went to sleep. It is, hence, possible
that a peer goes to sleep for a long time and stop pulling
frames. This will cause its transmit queue to hang which is
a condition that triggers the recovery flow in the driver.
While this client is certainly buggy (it should have pulled
the frame based on the TIM IE in the beacon), we can't blow
up because of a buggy client.
Change the current implementation to not enable the
transmit queue hang detection on queues that serve peers
when we act as an AP / GO.
We can still enable this mechanism using the debug
configuration which can come in handy when we want to
debug why the client doesn't wake up.
