[PATCH v2] wifi: ath11k: fix use after free in ath11k_dp_rx_msdu_coalesce.

In ath11k_dp_rx_msdu_coalesce the loop uses ->is_continuation after
the dev_kfree_skb_any. This can cause a use after free kfence.
Use flag for caching is_continuation for use after the
dev_kfree_skb_any.
Fixes: d5c65159f289 ("ath11k: driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices")
Signed-off-by: Willmar Knikker <willmar at met-dubbel-l.nl>
Changes in v2:
- add bool _is_continuation for use after the free.
- Add Fixes, label to commit.
