wifi: ath12k: mark QMI driver event helpers as noinline

Commit Message

As described in [1], compiling the ath12k driver using clang with
KASAN enabled warns about some functions with excessive stack usage,
with the worst case being:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath12k/qmi.c:3546:13: warning: stack frame size (2456) exceeds limit (1024) in 'ath12k_qmi_driver_event_work' [-Wframe-larger-than]

Nathan [2] highlighted work done by Arnd [3] to address similar
issues in other portions of the kernel.

ath12k_qmi_driver_event_work() itself is a pretty lightweight
function, but it dispatches to several other functions which do the
real work:
ath12k_qmi_driver_event_work()
	ath12k_qmi_event_server_arrive()
		ath12k_qmi_host_cap_send()
	ath12k_qmi_event_mem_request()
		ath12k_qmi_respond_fw_mem_request()
	ath12k_qmi_event_load_bdf()
		ath12k_qmi_request_target_cap()
		ath12k_qmi_load_bdf_qmi()
		ath12k_qmi_wlanfw_m3_info_send()

Mark all of those underlying functions as 'noinline_for_stack' to
prevent them from being inlined in ath12k_qmi_driver_event_work(),
thereby eliminating the excessive stack usage.
