[PATCH v2 09/10] ath10k: always request htc tx replenishment

[greearb at candelatech.com]

From: Michal Kazior <michal.kazior at tieto.com>

This simplifies tx credit management and tries to
address a problem where driver runs out of credits
and is unable to recover when firmware stalls.

This also makes it a little more easy to track and
debug htc tx credit flow since there should be no
laziness involved.

v2:  This is Michal's patch originally.  I think only CT firmware
actually supports this properly, but should not hurt existing
firmware.
