mac80211: enable PS by default

Enable PS by default (depending on Kconfig) -- rely on drivers
to control the level using pm_qos. Due to the previous patch
we turn off PS when necessary due to latency requirements.

This has a Kconfig symbol so people can, if they really want,
configure the default in their kernels. We may want to keep it
at "default y" only in wireless-testing for a while.
