[PATCH 2/2] ath10k: disable multi-vif ps by default

Not all firmware revisions have a proper
multi-interface client powersaving implementation,
e.g. qca6174 WLAN.RM.2.0-00073.

@Kalle: 999.999.0.636 seems to work okay with
multi-vif PS so you might want to bump it with the
MULTI_VIF_PS_SUPPORT feature flag set.
