[PATCH 2/2] ath10k: Populate RSC counter to firmware

Access Point (AP) re-transmits message 3 of 4 way handshake if
AP does not receive an appropriate response as acknowledgment.
As a result, the client may receive message 3 multiple times.
Each time it receives this message, it reinstalls the same
encryption key, and thereby reset the incremental transmit packet
number (nonce) and receive replay counter used by the encryption
protocol. By forcing nonce reuse in this manner, the encryption
protocol can be attacked, e.g., packets can be replayed, decrypted,
and/or forged.

Send RSC counter to FW in set key WMI command, so that FW can drop the
packet in PN check if received packet sequence no is less than current
RSC counter during group keys(GTK) exchange.

Tested on QCA6174 HW3.0 with firmware version RM.4.4.1.c1-00035-QCARMSWP-1.
