[PATCH][Precise] ath9k_hw: fix a RTS/CTS timeout regression

The patch that follows is a fix for a wireless regression I discovered
with AR9285 on an Asus Eee PC 1215N. The wirelss is rendered effectively
useless due to excessive CTS timeouts despite the fact that RTS
responses from the AP are seen on the air. The regresson was introduced
in 3.2 by a patch that shortened the CTS timeout for ath9k.

The fix will be coming down via stable, but due to the severity of the
issue I'm proposing we pick it up early.

Thanks,
