ath9k_hw: read and backup AR_WA register value even before chip reset on.

commit 0a8d7cb0c8182df7a28ad719780071178c386f0f upstream.

We need to read and backup AR_WA register value permanently and reading
this after the chip is awakened results in this register being zeroed out.

This seems to fix the ASPM with L1 enabled issue that we have observed.
The laptop becomes very slow and hangs mostly with ASPM L1 enabled without
this fix.
