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.

-Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: clean up and fix ath_tx_count_airtime
-
-ath_tx_count_airtime is doing a lot of unnecessary work:
-
-- Redundant station lookup
-- Redundant rcu_read_lock/unlock
-- Useless memcpy of bf->rates
-- Useless NULL check of bf->bf_mpdu
-- Redundant lookup of the skb tid
-
-Additionally, it tries to look up the mac80211 queue index from the txq,
-which fails if the frame was delivered via the power save queue.
-
-This patch fixes all of these issues by passing down the right set of
-pointers instead of doing extra work
-
-Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
-Fixes: 63fefa050477 ("ath9k: Introduce airtime fairness scheduling between stations")
