ath5k: do not stop queues for full calibration
Some calibration types interfere with tx activity, but the queue stop does not prevent that. In fact, some calibration types need tx activity to properly function, so stopping the queues for them is counterproductive. In some tests this patch has been shown to improve stability, especially in AP or ad-hoc mode.
