With multiple VIFS ath10k, and probably others, tries to find the
minimum txpower for all vifs and uses that when setting txpower in
the firmware.

If a second vif is added and starts to scan, it's txpower is not initialized yet
and it set to zero.

ath10k had a patch to ignore zero values, but then it is impossible to actually set
txpower to zero.

So, instead initialize the txpower to -1 in mac80211, and let drivers know that
means the power has not been set and so should be ignored.

This should fix regression in:

    ath10k: fix incorrect txpower set by P2P_DEVICE interface

Tested on ath10k 9984 with ath10k-ct firmware.

v2:  Use INT_MIN instead of -1 to mean invalid value
