iwlwifi: allow user change protection mechanism for HT
Allow user to change protection mechanism for HT between RTS/CTS and
CTS-to-self through sysfs:
Show current protection mechanism for HT
cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/rts_ht_protection
Change protection mechanism for HT (only allowed while not-associated)
CTS-to-self:
echo 0 > /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/rts_ht_protection
RTS/CTS:
echo 1 > /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/rts_ht_protection
