staging: r8712u: Fix regression in signal level after commit c6dc001
In commit c6dc001 "staging: r8712u: Merging Realtek's latest (v2.6.6). Various fixes", the returned qual.qual member of the iw_statistics struct was changed. For strong signals, this change made no difference; however for medium and weak signals it results in a low signal that shows considerable fluctuation, When using wicd for a medium-strength AP, the value reported in the status line is reduced from 100% to 60% by this bug. This problem is reported in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42826.
