Sometimes while watching a Youtube video with Bluetooth headphones the
audio has a lot of interruptions, because the 5th byte of the BT info
sent by RTL8821AU has strange values, which result in
coex_stat->bt_hid_pair_num being 2 or 3. When this happens
rtw_coex_freerun_check() returns true, which causes
rtw_coex_action_wl_connected() to call rtw_coex_action_freerun() instead
of rtw_coex_action_bt_a2dp().
The RTL8821AU vendor driver doesn't do anything with the 5th byte of the
BT info, so ignore it here as well.
