[Make-wifi-fast] [PATCH v6 4/4] ath10k: reporting estimated tx airtime for fairness

From: Kan Yan <kyan at google.com>

Transmit airtime will be estimated from last tx rate used.
Firmware report tx rate by peer stats. Airtime is computed
on tx path and the same will be reported to mac80211 upon
tx completion.

This change is based on Kan's orginal commit in Chromium tree
("CHROMIUM: ath10k: Implementing airtime fairness based TX scheduler")
ref: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/588190

Tested on QCA4019 with firmware version 10.4-3.2.1.1-00015
Tested on QCA9984 with firmware version 10.4-3.9.0.1-00005

Rajkumar / Kan: Please check that I didn't mess anything up while
rebasing this onto the current mac80211-next branch!
