[PATCH] ath11k: rx path optimizations

[Manikanta Pubbisetty]

During RX, accessing the reo dest ring descriptor directly is consuming
a lot of CPU cycles. Accessing the descriptor after copying it locally
has improved CPU usage by around ~10-15% while measuring throughput
in RX DBTC test cases(all radios are involved in the throughput
measurement).

HW tested: IPQ8074
