Simon Wunderlich 4e7a3fa539 ath9k: FFT magnitude check: don't consider lower 3 data bits
There were a lot of Magnitude Mismatch while getting FFT samples on my
hardware (Atheros AR9462. I've compared the reported magnitude with
the data in the FFT bin, and the FFT bin was less accurate:

[ 5395.193030] ath: phy0: FFT HT20 frame: max mag 0x89,max_mag_idx 28,

,magnitude 0x43 max_exp 0, data[28] = 0x40

It seems like the lower 3 bits on my hardware are always zeroed, but the
magnitude matches otherwise. Therefore, let's not make the magnitude
check so strict so we can get those samples released to userspace.
