Subject: [PATCH 2/2] wifi: ath12k: fix undefined behavior with __fls in dp

When max virtual ap interfaces are configured in all the bands
with ACS and hostapd restart is done every 60s,
a crash is observed at random times because of handling the
uninitialized peer fragments.

During the crash, the fragment id of that packet was 0 and
__fls returned a junk value. Hence, it was identified that "__fls"
would have an undefined behavior if the argument is passed as "0".
Therefore, add changes to handle the same.

Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.0.1-00029-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1

Also, btw, "Fixes:" tags would be nice for fixes. I'm sure Kalle has
brought that up a million times before ;)

Umm. That makes it sound like you are surprised by this behaviour of
__fls() and expected something else?! Please go read the documentation,
and then rewrite the commit message. You really shouldn't be surprised
by this.
