tests: Enable device PS before sending PS-Poll
Linux kernel commit c9491367b759 ("mac80211: always update the PM state of a peer on MGMT / DATA frames") enforces the AP to check only mgmt/data frames PM bit, and to update station's power save accordingly. When sending only a PS-Poll (control frame) the AP will ignore the PM bit. As the result, the partial virtual bitmap will not be updated, and the test ap_open_disconnect_in_ps will fail on tshark check. Since the test needs only the TIM to be updated, setting PS enabled will send NDP that will signal that the station is sleeping. Sending PS-Poll to enable power save is not correct, according to the following standard statement: "A PS-Poll frame exchange does not necessarily result in an Ack frame from the AP, so a non-AP STA cannot change power management mode using a PS-Poll frame."
