Commit 39c1a9728f93 refactored the SAR table support and inadvertently
added a call to GEO_TX_POWER_LIMIT without checking that the firmware
supported it. This caused a regression for device + firmware
combinations lacking the support. Add a check in iwl_mvm_sar_init to
prevent this.

Thanks, Jonathan! We already have an internal patch that fixes this 
(also fixes another symptom of the same bug).  I'll send it out now.
