[PATCH v2] ath10k: fix group privacy action frame decryption for qca4019

Recent commit 'mac80211: Encrypt "Group addressed privacy" action frames'
encrypts group privacy action frames. But qca99x0 family chipset delivers
broadcast/multicast management frames as encrypted and it should be
decrypted by mac80211. Setting RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED stats for those frames
is breaking mesh connection establishment.
