wifi: rtw88: fix DTIM period handling when conf->dtim_period is zero

[ Upstream commit 9f68fdcdc9 ]

The function rtw_set_dtim_period() accepted an 'int' dtim_period parameter,
while mac80211 provides dtim_period as 'u8' in struct ieee80211_bss_conf.
In IBSS (ad-hoc) mode mac80211 may set dtim_period to 0.

The driver unconditionally wrote (dtim_period - 1) to
REG_DTIM_COUNTER_ROOT, which resulted in 0xFF when dtim_period was 0. This
caused delays in broadcast/multicast traffic processing and issues with
ad-hoc operation.

Convert the function parameter to u8 to match ieee80211_bss_conf and avoid
the underflow by writing 0 when dtim_period is 0.
