[PATCH 3.10 12/56] iwlwifi: dvm: dont enable CTS to self

From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com>

commit 43d826ca5979927131685cc2092c7ce862cb91cd upstream.

We should always prefer to use full RTS protection. Using
CTS to self gives a meaningless improvement, but this flow
is much harder for the firmware which is likely to have
issues with it.
