ath9k_hw: merge codepaths that access the cycle counter registers
The cycle counters are used by ANI to determine the amount of time that the radio spent not receiving or transmitting. They're also used for debugging purposes if the baseband watchdog on AR9003 detects a lockup. In the future, we want to use these counters to determine the medium utilization and export this information via survey. For that, we need to make sure that the counter is only accessed from one place, which also ensures that wraparounds won't occur at inconvenient points in time.
