[PATCH ath-next 1/2] wifi: ath12k: enforce vdev limit in ath12k_mac_vdev_create()

Currently, vdev limit check is performed only in
ath12k_mac_assign_vif_to_vdev(). If the host has already created
maximum number of vdevs for the radio (ar) and a scan request
arrives for the same radio, ath12k_mac_initiate_hw_scan() attempts
to create a vdev without checking the limit, causing firmware asserts.
Centralize the vdev limit guard by moving the check into
ath12k_mac_vdev_create() so that all callers obey the limit.
While doing this, update the condition from
`num_created_vdevs > (TARGET_NUM_VDEVS(ab) - 1)` to
`num_created_vdevs >= TARGET_NUM_VDEVS(ab)` for clarity and to
eliminate unnecessary arithmetic.
Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.4.1-00199-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
Fixes: 0d6e6736ed9f ("wifi: ath12k: scan statemachine changes for single wiphy")
Fixes: 4938ba733ee2 ("wifi: ath12k: modify remain on channel for single wiphy")
