This doesn't look correct to me. The limits should be per queue and you
should always stop queues selectively.

The ieee80211_stop_queues/ieee80211_wake_queues are for another purposes
and should be used only rarely - one example is Michael Buesch's comment
about a need to stop sending frames while tuning to a new channel in a
workqueue.

It is :-) Look for ieee80211_wake_queues. But as I said, you shouldn't need
that.
