rt2x00: Fix rounding errors in RSSI average calculation

Small changes in signal level was not detected up by the
MOVING_AVERAGE() due to a rounding error, using 'int' type.

rt2x00lib_antenna_diversity_eval:
rssi:   -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62
rssi_avg: -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57

The signal level reported back could be significantly (5dBm)
different from the actual value. A level +3dBm is the same as
double the AP output power.
