[PATCH 6.6.y 2/2] wifi: ath12k: copy M3 firmware when reusing the buffer

[Artem Dinaburg]

This fixes my 6.6.y backport of upstream commit 05090ae82f44 ("wifi:
ath12k: check M3 buffer size as well whey trying to reuse it"). There is
no corresponding upstream commit, because upstream never had this bug.

When the existing M3 buffer is large enough for the new m3.bin, my
backport releases the firmware and returns early. The new image is never
copied, and m3_mem->size keeps the old length. Upstream instead jumps to
skip_m3_alloc, which copies the current image into the existing buffer
and records its length. As a result, after recovery or resume, 6.6.y
gives the firmware the previous M3 image whenever the new one is the
same size or smaller. A larger image is reallocated and loaded.

Replace the early return with the upstream goto skip_m3_alloc. The
previous patch, a backport of upstream commit 00575bb44b2c ("wifi:
ath12k: fix reusing m3 memory"), keeps the allocation size in
total_size. So copying a smaller image no longer changes the size passed
to dma_free_coherent().
