CCK/OFDM noise immunilty values are always reset to defaults
during bgscan. This could affect the link quality and
performance when the STA is associated in a noisy channel.
So do not override the learned values across the scanning.

Not doing so, the caldata continues to retain older history
values learned on that channel. It is always safer to start
noise floor calibration from the defaults after the assoication.
So this patch resets the nf history buffer when none of the
STA vifs are associated.

Currently during the full reset, the nf calibration is always

Do the magnitude/phase coeff correction only if the outlier
is detected. Updating wrong magnitude/phase coeff factor
impacts not only tx gain setting but also leads to poor
performance in congested networks. In the clear environment
the impact is very minimal because the outlier happens
very rarely according to the past experiment. It occured
less than once every 1000 calibrations.
