ath9k: remove passive scan on 5 GHz if country IE knows better
If we have new found information about our location and the current country regulatory domain does not have passive scan flag requirements we should be able to actively scan now on those channels. Since AP functionality is not allowed where passive scan flags are set this means if you have a world regulatory domain and you get a country IE that allows that channel (with active scan) then we lift the passive-scan requirement so you can then use AP mode.
