Subject: ath9k: initialize tx chainmask before testing channel tx power values

From: Felix Fietkau <n...@openwrt.org>

commit c1227340ca65c2069222a956a68b6842d460c4f4 upstream.

With an uninitialized chainmask, the per-channel power will only contain
the power limits for a single chain instead of the combined tx power.
