ath9k: Fix noisefloor calibration
commit 696df785 upstream. The commits, "ath9k: Fix regression in channelwidth switch at the same channel" "ath9k: Fix invalid noisefloor reading due to channel update" attempted to fix noisefloor calibration when a channel switch happens due to HT20/HT40 bandwidth change. This is causing invalid readings resulting in messages like: "ath: phy16: NF[0] (-45) > MAX (-95), correcting to MAX". This results in an incorrect noise being used initially for reporting the signal level of received packets, until NF calibration is done and the history buffer is updated via the ANI timer, which happens much later. When a bandwidth change happens, it is appropriate to reset the internal history data for the channel. Do this correctly in the reset() routine by checking the "chanmode" variable.
