Lawrence reported that git clone could make system crash on a
Qualcomm ARM soc based device (DragonBoard, 1G memory without
swap) running 64bit Debian.

It's turned out the crash is related with rx skb allocation
failure. git could consume more than 600MB anonymous memory.
And system is in extremely memory shortage case.

But driver didn't handle the rx allocation failure case. This patch
doesn't submit skb to upper layer if rx skb allocation fails.
Instead, it reuse the old skb for rx DMA again. It's more like
drop the packets if system is in memory shortage case.

With this change, git clone is OOMed instead of system crash.

Changes from v1:
  * Move switch block out of while loop.
  * Remove the warning of unknown channel because we didn't deal with it.

Why add these ugly macros if you're only calling them once?

  static int wcn36xx_rx_handle_packets(struct wcn36xx *wcn,
                                      struct wcn36xx_dxe_ch *ch)
  {

         struct sk_buff *skb;

Surely something like:

if (ch->ch_type == WCN36XX_DXE_CH_RX_L) {
     value = WCN36XX_DXE_CTRL_RX_L;
     int_mask = WCN36XX_DXE_INT_CH1_MASK;
} else {
     value = WCN36XX_DXE_CTRL_RX_H;
     int_mask = WCN36XX_DXE_INT_CH3_MASK;
}

would be much cleaner.
OK. I will remove the ugly macros. Thanks a lot for reviewing it.
