Call this function for all transmitted frames after they have been transmitted. It is permissible to not call this function for multicast frames but this can affect statistics.

This function may not be called in IRQ context. Calls to this function for a single hardware must be synchronized against each other. Calls to this function, ieee80211_tx_status_ni and ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe may not be mixed for a single hardware. Must not run concurrently with ieee80211_rx or ieee80211_rx_ni.
