[PATCH] ath10k: add recalc RTS/CTS protection method

[bartosz.markowski@tieto.com]

From: Marek Kwaczynski <marek.kwaczynski@tieto.com>

Add recalculation of RTS/CTS protection when one or more legacy
stations are connected to ath10k. In this case enable RTS/CTS
protection and set sw retry profile are needed in the FW.
Without this change legacy station is starved and has very low
throughput.
