ath10k: prevent txrx running for too long

Browse source

On multicore systems it was possible for the txrx
tasklet to keep on running for long periods of
time on a single CPU due to tx completion
processing. Another CPU could feed the running
tasklet for an indefinite amount of time.

The tasklet is now guaranteed to run a finite
amount of time and is limited by HTT CE Rx ring
depth.

This improves behavior when RPS is used on target
system and might improve TCP handling as well.
