ath11k: optimize RX path latency

This patch drops ath11k_hal_rx_parse_dst_ring_desc(). This function was
creating a huge amount of load, which lead to a signifcant latency delay
when processing data in the RX path.

Pegging the processing on a specific core and running perf --top we get
the following output when running HE80 at a fixed bandwidth of 1gbit.

with patch

without patch

    10.80%  [ath11k]       [k] ath11k_dp_process_rx
     3.77%  [kernel]       [k] v7_dma_inv_range
     3.48%  [kernel]       [k] dev_gro_receive
     3.32%  [ath11k]       [k] ath11k_dp_rx_tid_del_func
     3.17%  [mac80211]     [k] ieee80211_rx_napi
     2.70%  [kernel]       [k] dma_cache_maint_page
     2.65%  [mac80211]     [k] ieee80211_sta_ps_transition

When removing the the bandwidth limit and rerunning the test we see an
overall throughput improvement of 3-400mbit when running 4x4 HE80.
