ath9k: Fix power save count imbalance on ath_radio_enable()

Upon a failure we never call ath9k_ps_restore() on ath_radio_enable(),
this will throw off the sc->ps_usecount. When the sc->ps_usecount
is > 0 we never put the chip to full sleep. This drains battery,
and will also make the chip fail upon resume with:

ath: Starting driver with initial channel: 5745 MHz
ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0x7000: 0xdeadbeef & 0x00000003 != 0x00000000

This would make the chip useless upon resume.

I cannot prove this can happen but in theory it is so best to
avoid this race completely and not have users complain about
a broken device after resume.
