cfg80211: make regulatory_hint() remove REGULATORY_CUSTOM_REG
The REGULATORY_CUSTOM_REG can be used during early init with the goal of overriding the wiphy's default regulatory settings in case the alpha2 of the device is not known. In the case that the alpha2 becomes known lets avoid having drivers having to clear the REGULATORY_CUSTOM_REG flag by doing it for them when regulatory_hint() is used.
