ath9k: fix invalid pointer access in the tx path
After setup_frame_info has been called, only info->control.rates is still
valid, other control fields have been overwritten by the ath_frame_info
data. Move the access to info->control.vif for checking short preamble
to setup_frame_info before it gets overwritten.
This regression was introduced in commit d47a61aa
