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. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

146 * Theory for reporting quality:
147 *
148 * At a hardware RSSI of 45 you will be able to use MCS 7 reliably.
149 * At a hardware RSSI of 45 you will be able to use MCS 15 reliably.
150 * At a hardware RSSI of 35 you should be able use 54 Mbps reliably.
151 *
152 * MCS 7 is the highets MCS index usable by a 1-stream device.
153 * MCS 15 is the highest MCS index usable by a 2-stream device.
154 *
155 * All ath9k devices are either 1-stream or 2-stream.
156 *
157 * How many bars you see is derived from the qual reporting.
158 *
159 * A more elaborate scheme can be used here but it requires tables
160 * of SNR/throughput for each possible mode used. For the MCS table
161 * you can refer to the wireless wiki:
