Some firmware revisions don't seem to deilver
management frames with FCS error via WMI so narrow
down the HTT rule to not drop corrupted management
frames.

This basically increases number of frames ath10k
reports while sniffing.

I think I asked this before in some other patch, but isn't '!!' operator
useless here? is_mgmt is a boolean so the compiler should convert it
correctly without '!!' anyway, right?

If I remove `!!` I get:

 warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)
    expected bool [unsigned] [usertype] is_mgmt
    got restricted __le32

I could do a temporary `u32 attention` to get rid of the `!!`. You
want me to update it?


Micha?

Oh. Sorry, my bad.

Please don't, this is fine.
