[PATCH ath-next v2 3/9] wifi: ath11k: report the pending tx MSDU count in soc_dp_stats

[Julius Bairaktaris]

ar->dp.num_tx_pending counts the MSDUs the hardware has not completed
yet, and is used to wait for the transmit path to drain. It is never
shown.

soc_dp_stats can therefore say when the transmit path overflowed - TCL
ring full, misc transmit failures - and not how deep it is at this
instant. The bound those counters report against is the tx descriptor
idr, DP_TX_IDR_SIZE entries per ring, which is large enough that
occupancy rather than exhaustion is what characterises the path under
load.

Print it per radio, beside the failure counters it complements.

Tested-on: IPQ8074 hw2.0 AHB WLAN.HK.2.9.0.1-02146-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
