Baochen Qiang e57c74d760 wifi: ath11k: avoid burning CPU in ath11k_debugfs_fw_stats_request()
[ Upstream commit 9f6e82d11bb9692a90d20b10f87345598945c803 ]

We get report [1] that CPU is running a hot loop in
ath11k_debugfs_fw_stats_request():

This is because, if for whatever reason ar->fw_stats_done is not set by
ath11k_update_stats_event(), ath11k_debugfs_fw_stats_request() won't yield
CPU before an up to 3s timeout.

Change to completion mechanism to avoid CPU burning.

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.
