Pausing queue without checking threshold is racy with txdone path. Moreover we do not need pause queue on any error, but only if queue is full - in case when we send RTS frame ( other cases of almost full queue are already handled in rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame() ).
Patch fixes of theoretically possible problem of pausing empty queue.
