linux-firmware: ath9k_htc - use newer firmware

Browse Source 
Existing blobs are of version ath9k-htc 1.3.1, see
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/?id=21a6c3e55df956dd223279627685778268ede70f

These are as said in the commit are left for compatibility with older
kernels which [older kernels] will look for blobs in the
root of "/lib/firmware".

But there're newer v1.4 blobs in ath9k_htc folder.
And newer kernels (>=4.4) look first in that new location
"/lib/firmware/ath9k_htc".

Note that even new kernels will fall back to previous location
if new one doesn't exist.

Tested with TP-LINK TL-WN722N (has Atheros AR9271 inside).
