[PATCH ath-current v2 1/8] wifi: ath12k: fix out-of-bounds clear_bit in ath12k_mac_dp_peer_cleanup()

ath12k_mac_dp_peer_cleanup() clears the ML peer ID slot on the
free_ml_peer_id_map bitmap by indexing it with dp_peer->peer_id. That is
wrong: dp_peer->peer_id for an MLO peer always carries the
ATH12K_PEER_ML_ID_VALID bit (BIT(13)), so clear_bit() is invoked with
index >= 0x2000, which is far outside the bitmap of ATH12K_MAX_MLO_PEERS
(256) bits and corrupts memory adjacent to ah->free_ml_peer_id_map. The
intended bitmap entry also never gets cleared, so subsequent
ath12k_peer_ml_alloc() calls eventually run out of IDs.

The ID without the VALID bit is what ath12k_peer_ml_alloc() returned and
is stored in ahsta->ml_peer_id. Use that instead.

While there, also reset ahsta->ml_peer_id to ATH12K_MLO_PEER_ID_INVALID so
the bitmap and ahsta->ml_peer_id stay in sync;

Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.1.c5-00302-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-1.115823.3
