ath11k: Reset ath11k_skb_cb before setting new flags
It was observed that the codepath for the ATH11K_SKB_HW_80211_ENCAP was
used even when the IEEE80211_TX_CTRL_HW_80211_ENCAP was not enabled for a
an skbuff. This became even more prominent when the QCAs wlan-open patchset
for ath11k [1] was applied and a sane looking fix just caused crashes when
injecting frames via a monitor interface (for example with ratechecker):

Problem is that the state of ath11k_skb_cb->flags must be considered
unknown and could contain anything when it is not manually initialized. So
it could also contain ATH11K_SKB_HW_80211_ENCAP. And this can result in the
code to assume that the ath11k_skb_cb->vif is set - even when this is not
always the case for non ATH11K_SKB_HW_80211_ENCAP transmissions.

(162 patches at the moment which are often not upstreamed but essential
to get ath11k working)
