Subject: [PATCH] Revert "ath10k: fix napi_poll budget overflow"

Thorsten reported on <[email protected]> that
commit c9353bf483d3 made ath10k unstable with QCA6174 on his Dell XPS13 (9360)
with an error message:

ath10k_pci 0000:3a:00.0: failed to extract amsdu: -11

It only seemed to happen with certain APs, not all, but when it happened the
only way to get ath10k working was to switch the wifi off and on with a hotkey.

As this commit made things even worse (a warning vs breaking the whole
connection) let's revert the commit for now and while the issue is being fixed.
