ath9k: Enable support for cloned SKBS



Ath9k driver does not modify tx skbs, so SUPPORTS_CLONED_SKBS
flag can be set. Enabling this flag significant reduce number
of copy operation during TCP Tx. This is especially noticeable
on platforms with slower CPU (lower CPU usage brings
profits in better TCP Tx troughput results).

Tested on MIPS with 560 MHz clock
Without CLONED_SKBS flag:
TCP Tx 145 Mb/s (iperf result)
__copy_user_common consumes 12.9% of CPU (result from perf tool)
0% CPU Idle

With CLONED_SKBS flag:
TCP Tx 170 Mb/s (iperf result)
__copy_user_common consumes 1.8% of CPU (result from perf tool)
12% CPU Idle
