HW reports each A-MSDU subframe as a separate
sk_buff. It is impossible to configure it to
behave differently.
Until now ath10k was reconstructing A-MSDUs from
subframes which involved a lot of memory
operations. This proved to be a significant
contributor to degraded RX performance.

Instead of allocating sk_buff for a mere 16-byte
tx fragment list buffer use headroom of the
original msdu sk_buff.
This decreases CPU cache pressure and improves
performance.
Measured improvement on AP135 is 560mbps ->
590mbps of UDP TX briding traffic.

Until now the all MSDU transfer related structures
were freed when all resources were unreferenced.
Now HTC transfer is freed independently and HTT
transfer is so too.
This yields a way more simpler ath10k_skb_cb and
should possibly enable parallel pipe processing
(which is now serialized in
ath10k_pci_process_ce routine).

This reduces number of memory accesses and
hopefully contributes to better performance in the
future.

It's more efficient to simply check num_pending_tx
value instead of traversing whole bitmap of
msdu ids.
