[PATCH v2 2/5] ath10k: fix STA u-APSD

To comply with WMM-PS the device shouldn't wake up
with a NullFunc frame pair when tx-ing. Instead PM
bit on each tx frame should be used.
To make this work correctly firmware needs to be
told to use a different STA PS wake threshold when
u-APSD is enabled.

Notes:
v2:
* fix Rx performance
* fix error handling (use goto instead of return)
