It is a clean up. Ath11k uses mon reap timer to implement rx pktlog. But 
ath12k doesn't support it yet. If we want to support, reuse the 
interrupt of monitor status ring is better. Because:
1. monitor mode also need the configuration of monitor status ring.
2. the rx pktlog is highly dependent on the implementation of monitor mode.
