d85c5fe462 mwifiex: correct AMSDU aggregation check
The commit "mwifiex: remove list traversal.."(fcf2176c87..)
wrongly modifies AMSDU aggregation check. Due to this even though
packet size for iperf traffic is already large, we unnecessarily
try to aggregate them which adds some delay. If Tx iperf is started
on UUT for 30 seconds, UUT keeps sending Tx packets for few more
seconds.

That commit is reverted to fix the problem.
Also, MIN_NUM_AMSDU check is moved inside the loop to optimize the
loop.

4e3c44207f mwifiex: put multicast/broadcast packets to the same RA
For ad-hoc mode, RA is created for each peer connected. In case of
multicast traffic new RA will be created for each multicast
address. While processing Tx packets we have to go through this
RA list. We can avoid some RA nodes by sharing same RA for both
multicast and broadcast packets.

Therefore "memset(0xff)" is used to treat multicast packet as broadcast
one while choosing RA.

fcf2176c87 mwifiex: remove list traversal in mwifiex_num_pkts_in_txq
Instead of counting the number of packets in txq
for particular RA list before AMSDU creation,
maintain a counter which will keep track of the
same.

This will reduce some MIPS while generating AMSDU
traffic as we only have to check the counter instead
of traversing through skb list.

17e8cec875 mwifiex: CPU mips optimization with NO_PKT_PRIO_TID
If we go through the entire for loop in
mwifiex_wmm_get_highest_priolist_ptr() and don't find any packets,
set highest_queued_prio to NO_PKT_PRIO_TID (< LOW_PRIO_TID).

9396814787 mwifiex: check mwifiex_wmm_lists_empty() before dequeue

mwifiex_dequeue_tx_packet() to find it can't send.

49729ff616 mwifiex: reduce CPU usage by tracking highest_queued_prio
This patch adds highest_queued_prio to track priority of packets as
they are enqueued so that mwifiex_wmm_get_highest_priolist_ptr()
starts checking at the first level where we have packets, instead of
the highest. The function also lowers priority value to the level
where first packet is found.

This patch adds tx_pkts_queued to track number of packets being
enqueued & dequeued so that mwifiex_wmm_lists_empty() evaluation
is lightweight.
