a8f63a0717 mac80211: update to backports-4.14-rc2
This updates mac80211 to backprots-4.14-rc2.
This was compile and runtime tested with ath9k, ath10k and b43
with multiple stations and ieee80211w and in different scenarios by many
other people.

To create the backports-4.14-rc2-1.tar.xz use this repository:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/backports/backports.git
from tag v4.14-rc2-1

Then run this:
./gentree.py --git-revision v4.14-rc2 --clean  <path to linux repo> ../backports-4.14-rc2-1

This also adapts the ath10k-ct and mt76 driver to the changed cfg80211
APIs and syncs the nl80211.h file in iw with the new version from
backports-4.14-rc2.

76c3a033f6 ath10k: Re-enable intermediate softqueues for all devices
The upstream ath10k driver disables the intermediate softqueues for some
devices. This patch reverts that behaviour and always enables the
softqueues (and associated bufferbloat fixes). We have had reports of people
running this with good results:

This also refreshes mac80211 patches.
