ath9k_common: remove ath9k_compute_qual() 

This is now deprecated and unused within mac80211, so time
to remove it as otherwise we'd be doing some unecessary
computations for nothing.

/*
* Theory for reporting quality:
*
* At a hardware RSSI of 45 you will be able to use MCS 7 reliably.
* At a hardware RSSI of 45 you will be able to use MCS 15 reliably.
* At a hardware RSSI of 35 you should be able use 54 Mbps reliably.
*
* MCS 7 is the highets MCS index usable by a 1-stream device.
* MCS 15 is the highest MCS index usable by a 2-stream device.
*
* All ath9k devices are either 1-stream or 2-stream.
*
* How many bars you see is derived from the qual reporting.
*
* A more elaborate scheme can be used here but it requires tables
* of SNR/throughput for each possible mode used. For the MCS table
* you can refer to the wireless wiki:
*
* http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/ieee80211/802.11n
