[RFTv2 1/5] ath10k: always request htc tx replenishment

This simplifies tx credit management and tries to
address a problem where driver runs out of credits
and is unable to recover when firmware stalls.

This also makes it a little more easy to track and
debug htc tx credit flow since there should be no
laziness involved.
