wifi: rtl8xxxu: Fix AIFS written to REG_EDCA_*_PARAM
[ Upstream commit 5574d3290449916397f3092dcd2bac92415498e1 ]
ieee80211_tx_queue_params.aifs is not supposed to be written directly
to the REG_EDCA_*_PARAM registers. Instead process it like the vendor
drivers do. It's kinda hacky but it works.
This change boosts the download speed and makes it more stable.
Tested with RTL8188FU but all the other supported chips should also
benefit.
