    Lennert Buytenhek noticed a remotely triggerable problem
    in mac80211, which is due to some code shuffling I did
    that ended up changing the order in which things were
    done -- this was in

        mac80211: RX aggregation: clean up stop session
    
    The problem is that the BUG_ON moved before the various
    checks, and as such can be triggered.
    
    As the comment indicates, the BUG_ON can be removed since
    the ampdu_action callback must already exist when the
    state is OPERATIONAL.
    
    A similar code path leads to a WARN_ON in
    ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session, which can also be removed.
