brcmsmac: Use IEEE 802.11 AC levels for pktq precedence levels
The mac80211 tx queues and brcmsmac DMA fifos both map directly to AC levels. Therefore it's much more straightforward to queue tx frames and choose the tx fifo based on the mac80211 queue instead of mapping 802.1D priority tags to precedence levels then back to AC levels. mac80211 already maps the 802.1D levels to the appropriate AC levels and queues management frames at the maximum priority, so the results should be identical. One functional change resulting from this patch is that AMPDU retries no longer get a priority boost to queue them ahead of packets with the same priority already in the tx queue. This behavior will be restored (in effect at least) in a later patch when the tx queue is removed.
