[PATCH ath-next v3 4/8] wifi: ath12k: add device DP stats reset support via debugfs

From: Hariharan Ramanathan <hariharan.ramanathan at oss.qualcomm.com>

There is no way to reset device DP stats counters without reloading
the driver, making it difficult to isolate issues to a specific time
window during debugging.

Add a write handler to the device_dp_stats debugfs file so that
writing 'reset' clears all device DP stats counters. Change the file
mode from 0400 to 0600 to allow write access. Use
simple_write_to_buffer() to correctly handle partial writes and
non-zero ppos, consistent with ath12k_write_simulate_fw_crash() in
the same file. Return -EINVAL on unrecognised input.

No lock is taken around the memset since the counters are updated
locklessly in the datapath; taking dp_lock would be misleading as it
does not protect device_stats updates.

Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.6.r1-00402-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
