Use ath10k-ct-smallbuffers driver and ath10k firmwware for 11s

802.11s mesh is only available with the "regular" (i.e., non-CT) ath10k firmware. Unfortunately, when used with the regular ath10k driver it eats all the memory of <128 MB RAM devices. However, the ath10k-ct driver can also use the regular, non-CT firmware. In particular, the ath10k-ct-smallbuffers driver has limited RAM consumption, works well with the ath10k firmware and delivers >100 Mbps iperf3 throughput in 802.11s mesh mode against an ath9k radio with HT40 channel width.
