brcmsmac: fix tx status processing

This issue was reported on the wireless list (see [1]) in which
brcmsmac ran into a fatal error:

[  588.284074] brcmsmac bcma0:0: frameid != txh->TxFrameID
[  588.284098] brcmsmac bcma0:0: MI_TFS: fatal
[  588.284103] brcmsmac bcma0:0: wl0: fatal error, reinitializing
[  588.286208] ieee80211 phy0: Hardware restart was requested

The tx status feedback is processed in a loop limiting the number of
frames processed in one run. The code terminate processing when the
limit is reached regardless the txstatus value read from the device
register. When that status is is flagged as being valid it must be
processed as the hardware will clear it after is has been read.

Bisecting was done by Seth Forshee and showed following commit as the
culprit:
