[PATCH ath-next v4 3/9] wifi: ath11k: report the pending tx MSDU count in soc_dp_stats

[Julius Bairaktaris]

ar->dp.num_tx_pending counts the MSDUs the hardware has not completed
yet, and is used to wait for the transmit path to drain. It is never
shown.

soc_dp_stats can therefore say when the transmit path overflowed - TCL ring
full, misc transmit failures - and not how deep it is at this instant. The
count added here is bounded by the tx descriptor idr, one entry short of
DP_TX_IDR_SIZE per ring, which is large enough that occupancy rather than
exhaustion is what characterises the path under load.

Print it per radio, beside the failure counters it complements.

Tested-on: IPQ8074 hw2.0 AHB WLAN.HK.2.9.0.1-02146-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
