[PATCH 3/3] wifi: ath11k: mark ath11k_wow_convert_8023_to_80211() as noinline

From: Jeff Johnson

When compiling the ath11k driver using clang with KASAN enabled, the
following warning is observed:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/wow.c:672:5: warning: stack frame size (1336) exceeds limit (1024) in 'ath11k_wow_op_suspend' [-Wframe-larger-than]

This is similar to the issue found in ath12k/qmi.c that was discussed
in [1] and fixed with [2]. The issue is that clang inlining can
explode stack usage.

ath11k_wow_op_suspend() itself is a pretty lightweight function, but
it dispatches to several other functions which do the real work. One
path in particular is:

ath11k_wow_op_suspend()
ath11k_wow_set_wakeups()
ath11k_vif_wow_set_wakeups()
ath11k_wow_convert_8023_to_80211()

Of these, ath11k_wow_convert_8023_to_80211() has non-trivial stack
usage, so mark it as 'noinline_for_stack' to prevent it from being
inlined in ath11k_wow_op_suspend(), thereby eliminating the excessive
stack usage.
