ath9k: Fix ath9k prevents CPU to enter C3 states

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:

More details can be found in the following bugzilla link:
