[Make-wifi-fast] ath10k fq_codel support

[Noah Causin]

It seems like the patch in LEDE was removed 5 days ago.

https://github.com/lede-project/source/commit/ad51e09fd1301484820a466a49447a34d7504882

Search the page for:

311-ath10k-disable-wake_tx_queue-for-older-devices.patch

I'm going to compile a new build for my Archer C7 and see.
