ath11k: optimize RX path latency

This patch drops ath11k_hal_rx_parse_dst_ring_desc(). This function was
creating a huge amount of load, which lead to a signifcant latency delay
when processing data in the RX path.

Pegging the processing on a specific core and running perf --top we get
the following output when running HE80 at a fixed bandwidth of 1gbit.

     2.65%  [mac80211]     [k] ieee80211_sta_ps_transition

When removing the the bandwidth limit and rerunning the test we see an
overall throughput improvement of 3-400mbit when running 4x4 HE80.
