Maybe ath10k_htt_rx_in_ord_ind() has to accept "budget_left" parameter 
and use it to limit number of processed MSDUs in queued AMSDU and saving 
rest for later (NAPI has to be rescheduled in this case).
It seems natural that this problem happens with current logic, in case 
AMSDU in Rx queue has more elements then left in budget.
