    ath9k: quiet harmless ForceXPAon messages

    This is a port of one line of upstream patch
    f1dc56003b23d2d5bb5a756de6b1633a76c9e697

    The "ForceXPAon" messages on ath9k were not meant to be printed
    regularly, lets quiet them as this can happen quite frequently
    (scans) and will fill the logs with tons of these messages.

The kernel that this was being tested with was actually 2.6.28 based. Did they perhaps resurface for 2.6.28?
