ath6kl: Fix kernel panic during rx aggregation

"ath6kl: Define a structure for connection specific aggregation information"
introduces this. In aggr_conn_init(), vif->aggr_cntxt is assigned to
aggr_conn->aggr_info, but vif->aggr_cntxt is not initialized at this
point, this would end up accessing an invalid pointer in aggregation
receive path. Fix this by passing the correct aggr_info to aggr_conn_init().
The panic trace would look like.
