Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ath10k: don't remove peer that doesn't exist

If peer creation failed during offchannel Tx the
driver attempted to delete the peer nonetheless.
This caused the ar->num_peers counter to be
incorrectly decremented. This subsequently could
cause the counter to drop below 0 and also
eventually lead to firmware crash because host
would think there are less peer entries created in
firmware then there really were.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ath10k: fix peer limit enforcement

Firmware peer entries are involved in internal
firmware vdev structures. This was not accounted
for and could lead firmware to crash due to asking
it to do more than it could.
