wifi: ath12k: Skip peer link info update in rx_status for monitor MSDUs

Browse source

Do not populate peer and link_id in ieee80211_rx_status for monitor
MSDUs.

The monitor RX path is handled differently in mac80211 when
RX_FLAG_ONLY_MONITOR is set, and does not consume peer/link metadata.
As such, looking up the peer and updating link_id here is unnecessary.

Additionally, this metadata is not required for monitor mode delivery,
and performing the lookup/update introduces redundant work and the
potential for inconsistent rx_status state if multiple paths modify it.
Hence, remove the peer lookup and link_id update from the monitor MSDU
delivery path.

This also removes the per-MSDU debug logging in the monitor path,
slightly reducing debuggability, but avoids unnecessary overhead in the
monitor RX path.
