rtl8180: make *IFS and CW tunable by mac80211, and set them in the proper place
SLOT, SIFS, DIFS, EIFS, CW and ACK-timeout registers are set in an RF-code callback and their values are fixed. This patch moves this off the rf-code, and introduce two new functions that calculate these values depending by slot time and CW values requested by mac80211. This seems to improve performances on my setup. Currently the ack and slot time values could be stored in a local variable, but this patch stores it in the driver "priv" structure because it will be useful for rtl8187se support that will be added (hopefully) soon.
