Jeff Johnson 500d7ec886 wifi: ath11k: mark ath11k_dp_rx_mon_mpdu_pop() as noinline
When compiling the ath11k driver using clang with KASAN enabled, the
following warning is observed:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/dp_rx.c:5244:5: warning: stack frame size (1304) exceeds limit (1024) in 'ath11k_dp_rx_process_mon_status' [-Wframe-larger-than]

This is similar to the issue found in ath12k/qmi.c that was discussed
in [1] and fixed with [2]. The issue is that clang inlining can
explode stack usage.

ath11k_dp_rx_process_mon_status() itself is a pretty
lightweight function, but it dispatches to several other functions
which do the real work:

ath11k_dp_rx_process_mon_status()
	ath11k_dp_rx_reap_mon_status_ring()
	ath11k_dp_rx_mon_dest_process()
		ath11k_dp_rx_mon_mpdu_pop() *
		ath11k_dp_rx_mon_deliver()
			ath11k_dp_rx_mon_merg_msdus()
			ath11k_dp_rx_deliver_msdu()
	ath11k_dp_rx_update_peer_stats()

Of these, only ath11k_dp_rx_mon_mpdu_pop() has non-trivial stack
usage, so mark that function as 'noinline_for_stack' to prevent it
from being inlined in ath11k_dp_rx_process_mon_status(), thereby
eliminating the excessive stack usage.

Compile tested only.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
