Wen Gong 2fd3c8f34d ath10k: start recovery process when payload length exceeds max htc length for sdio
When simulate random transfer fail for sdio write and read, it happened
"payload length exceeds max htc length" and recovery later sometimes.

Test steps:
1. Add config and update kernel:
CONFIG_FAIL_MMC_REQUEST=y
CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION=y
CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_DEBUG_FS=y

2. Run simulate fail:
cd /sys/kernel/debug/mmc1/fail_mmc_request
echo 10 > probability
echo 10 > times # repeat until hitting issues

3. It happened payload length exceeds max htc length.
[  199.935506] ath10k_sdio mmc1:0001:1: payload length 57005 exceeds max htc length: 4088
....
[  264.990191] ath10k_sdio mmc1:0001:1: payload length 57005 exceeds max htc length: 4088

4. after some time, such as 60 seconds, it start recovery which triggered
by wmi command timeout for periodic scan.
[  269.229232] ieee80211 phy0: Hardware restart was requested
[  269.734693] ath10k_sdio mmc1:0001:1: device successfully recovered

The simulate fail of sdio is not a real sdio transter fail, it only
set an error status in mmc_should_fail_request after the transfer end,
actually the transfer is success, then sdio_io_rw_ext_helper will
return error status and stop transfer the left data. For example,
the really RX len is 286 bytes, then it will split to 2 blocks in
sdio_io_rw_ext_helper, one is 256 bytes, left is 30 bytes, if the
first 256 bytes get an error status by mmc_should_fail_request,then
the left 30 bytes will not read in this RX operation. Then when the
next RX arrive, the left 30 bytes will be considered as the header
of the read, the top 4 bytes of the 30 bytes will be considered as
lookaheads, but actually the 4 bytes is not the lookaheads, so the len
from this lookaheads is not correct, it exceeds max htc length 4088
sometimes. When happened exceeds, the buffer chain is not matched between
firmware and ath10k, then it need to start recovery ASAP. Recently then
recovery will be started by wmi command timeout, but it will be long time
later, for example, it is 60+ seconds later from the periodic scan, if
it does not have periodic scan, it will be longer.

Start recovery when it happened "payload length exceeds max htc length"
will be reasonable.

This patch only effect sdio chips.

Tested with QCA6174 SDIO with firmware WLAN.RMH.4.4.1-00029.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
