brcmf_sdio_fromevntchan() was being called on the the data frame
rather than the software header, causing some frames to be
mischaracterized as on the event channel rather than the data channel.
This fixes a major performance regression (due to dropped packets).

In the future please add version to the subject so that maintainers can
easily find the latest version:
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches#subject
Arend, do you think this is safe enough for 4.10? Or better to get more
testing time and push this to 4.11 and from where to stable releases?
