From: Avri Altman <avri.altman@xxxxxxxxx>
The HT protection flags have been a mess for a long time,
this patch fixes all this.
The proper source of information for this is the
protection in the HT operation mode IE which is
propagated to bss_conf by mac80211.
1) No need to set the HT protection flags when the link
doesn't support HT.
2) We need to set the TGG protection when ERP is active.
