qcacmn: Check for ring approaching full during RX
Check if REO ring is near full at the end of dp_rx_process. In case the
ring is near full, reap the packets in the ring (and replenish, send to
upper layer) until the quota allows. Ignore the HIF yield time
limit in such cases.
This change is needed to prevent back pressure from the REO ring(in case
it gets full). Backpressure from REO ring (to LMAC) may lead to a
watchdog and eventually a FW crash. Hence, avoid such a scenario by
reaping as many packets as the 'quota' allows when the REO ring is in
aforementioned condition.
A sid-effect of this change would be that at times the RX softirq may run
longer (till the quota limit) than the configured HIF yield time.
However, this logic is not expected to kick-in in perf builds. The issue
is reported for a defconfig build where lots debug options are enabled
in the kernel which can slow the processing down.
