Enable threaded NAPI on WCN6750. Unlike traditional NAPI poll which
runs in softirq context and on the core which scheduled the NAPI,
threaded NAPI makes use of kernel threads which are under direct
control of the scheduler and helps in balancing the NAPI processing
load across multiple CPUs thereby improving throughput.
In the case of WCN6750, enabling threaded NAPI has improved
160 MHz RX throughput by nearly 400 Mbps. This should give similar
gains for other ath11k devices as well, therefore enable threaded
NAPI on all other devices.
Tested-on: WCN6750 hw1.0 AHB WLAN.MSL.1.0.1-00887-QCAMSLSWPLZ-1
