the iwlagn_wait_tx_queue_empty() function only can be call from either
"flush" operation or from debugfs. I agree it is a problem if call from
debugfs. did you actually see the problem when it is not from debugfs().

there is a recent patch in mac80211 to make sure do not call "flush" is
not needed.
