Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/3] rtlwifi: btcoex: Don't init antenna position to main port

This partially reverts commit 40d9dd4f1c5dcd0d4a2a1f0efcd225c9c4b36d6f,
which does not only remove global variables from btcoex, as described on
its commit message, but also does a few other things -- in particular,
setting the default antenna position to BTC_ANTENNA_AT_MAIN_PORT.

This drastically affects the upload performance and signal strenght on
the HP 240 G4 laptop, as shown by the results bellow:
