Subject: [PATCH 2/2 v2] wlcore: Remove wl pointer from wl_sta structure

This field was added to wl_sta struct to get hw in situations
where it was not given to driver by mac80211.

In our case, get_expected_throughput op did not send hw to driver.

This patch reverts the change, as it is no longer needed due to
get_expected_throughput op change (hw is now sent as a parameter)
