Subject: [PATCH v3] staging: rtl8192e: Fix comparison to NULL of variable
 rf_set_sens

Functions _rtl92e_wx_get_sens and _rtl92e_wx_set_sens depend on the
function rf_set_sens, which is declared but never defined.
Hence calling this function will cause an oops.
Because there is no definition of the function priv->rf_set_sens
will always be NULL.

As a result _rtl92e_wx_set_sens and _rtl92e_wx_get_sens will always
return -1.

Hence,
* Removed function definition rf_set_sens
* Removed usage of variable priv->rf_set_sens
* Removed functions _rtl92e_wx_get_sens and _rtl92e_wx_set_sens
* Cleaned up the variables sens and max_sens used in these functions
