[RFC PATCH] wifi: ath10k: support flush_sta method

[Zhi-Jun You]

When a STA is marked as no longer authorized, if the driver doesn't
implement flush_sta(), mac80211 calls ieee80211_flush_queues() to
flush hardware queues to avoid sending unencrypted frames.

This has became a problem for ath10k because ieee80211_flush_queues()
will stop all traffic and call ath10k_flush, which waits until the
whole HW queue is empty. In a busy environment this will trigger a
timeout warning and stalls other STAs.

Fix this by implementing flush_sta method using WMI command to flush
frames of a specific STA.
Flushed frames will be marked as discard in tx complete indication.

ops->flush_sta will be set to NULL if htt.disable_tx_comp is set to
true.

Tested-on: QCA9984 hw1.0 PCI 10.4-3.9.0.2-00157
