mac80211: ath9k: enable MFP capability unconditionally
ath9k will already fallback on software-crypto for chipsets not supporting IEEE802.11w (MFP). So advertising MFP is not dependent on disabling HW crypto for all traffic entirely. Tested on Sonicwall SonicPoint Ni (AR9132) Signed-off-by: David Bauer <mail@david-bauer.net>
