Subject: [RFC 4/7] ath10k: Do not exhaust budget on process tx completion

Currently the entire NAPI budget is marked as exhausted
if any tx completion is processed.
In scenarios of bi-directional traffic, this leads to a
situation where the irqs are never enabled and the NAPI
is rescheuled again and again.

Increase the work done quota by the number of tx completions
which are processed in the NAPI context.

Tested-on: WCN3990 hw1.0 SNOC WLAN.HL.3.1-01040-QCAHLSWMTPLZ-1
