ath10k: improve wake_tx_queue ops performance
txqs_lock is interfering with wake_tx_queue submitting more frames. so queues don't get filled in and don't keep firmware/hardware busy enough. This change helps to reduce the txqs_lock contention and wake_tx_queue() blockage to being possible in txrx_unref(). To reduce turn around time of wake_tx_queue ops and to maintain fairness among all txqs, the callback is updated to push first txq alone from pending list for every wake_tx_queue call. Remaining txqs will be processed later upon tx completion. Below improvements are observed in push-only mode and validated on IPQ4019 platform. With this change, in AP mode ~10Mbps increase is observed in downlink (AP -> STA) traffic and approx. 5-10% of CPU usage is reduced. Major improvement is observed in 1-hop Mesh mode topology in 11ACVHT80. Compared to Infra mode, CPU overhead is higher in Mesh mode due to path lookup and no fast-xmit support. So reducing spin lock contention is helping in Mesh.
