The current wcn36xx driver didn't handle rx skb allocation failure case.
It only could be triggered when system is in extremly memory shortage
case. King Lawrence <lking@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hit it by git clone linux
kernel tree on DragonBoard <1>.

The fixing is not to submit the old rx skb to network upper layer and
reuse it as rx DMA buffer again.

Changes from v2:
  * Remove the ugly macro introduced in v2 per comment from Julian Calaby.
  * Seperate the DMA int mask register writing as one patch per comment
    from Bjorn Andersson.

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

   wcn36xx: handle rx skb allocation failure to avoid system crash
   wcn36xx: split DMA mask register writing.

Applied to ath.git, thanks.

Thanks a lot.

Regards
Yin, Fengwei
