[PATCH] ath10k: snoc: enable threaded napi on WCN3990

NAPI poll can be done in threaded context along with soft irq
context. Threaded context can be scheduled efficiently, thus
creating less of bottleneck during Rx processing. This patch is
to enable threaded NAPI on ath10k driver.

Based on testing, it was observed that on WCN3990, the CPU0 reaches
100% utilization when napi runs in softirq context. At the same
time the other CPUs are at low consumption percentage. This
does not allow device to reach its maximum throughput potential.
After enabling threaded napi, CPU load is balanced across all CPUs
and following improvments were observed:
- UDP_RX increase by ~22-25%
- TCP_RX increase by ~15%

Tested-on: WCN3990 hw1.0 SNOC WLAN.HL.3.2.2-00696-QCAHLSWMTPL-1
