ath9k: fix handling of rate control probe frames
The ath9k aggregation code was already checking the rate control probe flag to prevent starting an aggregate frame with a sampling rate. What was missing was closing an aggregate before adding a probing frame to it. Without that, rate control cannot have precise control over probing, which delays using faster rates when the channel conditions improve.
