ath10k-ct: silence some harmless noisy logs

Users feel anxious about some ath10k driver logs. After further
investigation, in fact these logs are harmless. Only developers
need to care about them in order to optimize some parameters.
Let's just silence them to reduce these similar user reports.

+Subject: [PATCH] ath10k-ct: silence warning caused by unsupported retry_limit
+ value
+
+Some retry_limit values are not supported by ath10k wave2 chips.
+We can just skip config it for these chips. And it's safe to
+return 0 in this case because the hardware is still working.

+Subject: [PATCH] ath10k-ct: silence noisy log caused by flushing queue
+
+.flush() is a regular mac80211 operation aims to clear all pending
+frames from the hardware queue. Only developers need to care about it.
