ath9k: Fix ath9k prevents CPU to enter C3 states
This is a backport of upstream commit
0f5cd45960173ba5b36727decbb4a241cbd35ef9.
The DMA latency issue is observed only in Intel pinetrail platforms
but in the driver we had a default PM-QOS value of 55. This caused
unnecessary power consumption and battery drain in other platforms.
Remove the pm-qos thing in the driver code and address the throughput
issue in Intel pinetrail platfroms in user space using any one of
the scripts in below links:
