The current wcn36xx driver didn't handle rx skb allocation failure case.
It only could be triggered when system is in extremly memory shortage
case. King Lawrence <lking at qti.qualcomm.com> hit it by git clone linux
kernel tree on DragonBoard <1>.
The fixing is not to submit the old rx skb to network upper layer and
reuse it as rx DMA buffer again.
Changes from v2:
* Remove the ugly macro introduced in v2 per comment from Julian Calaby.
* Seperate the DMA int mask register writing as one patch per comment
from Bjorn Andersson.
Changes from v1:
* Move switch block out of while loop.
* Remove the warning of unknown channel because we didn't deal with it.
