In ath9k-htc register out path, ath9k-htc will pass skb->data into
usb hcd and usb hcd will do dma mapping and unmapping to the buffer
pointed by skb->data, so we should pass a cache-line aligned address.
This patch replace __dev_alloc_skb with alloc_skb to make skb->data
pointed to a cacheline aligned address simply since ath9k-htc does not
skb_push on the skb and pass it to mac80211, also use kfree_skb to free
the skb allocated by alloc_skb(we can use kfree_skb safely in hardirq
context since skb->destructor is NULL always in the path).

Messages that are generated by the HTC layer
don't have any TX callback endpoints assigned to them.
Consequently, the allocated SKBs are never freed.
Fix this issue by handling this case in the HTC layer
itself.

Skip beyond the watchdog pattern properly.
This fixes occasional failure of the driver to load.
