[ Upstream commit 7330e1ec9748948177830c6e1a13379835d577f9 ]

When test connect/disconnect to an AP frequently with WCN6855, sometimes
it show below log.

[  277.040121] wls1: deauthenticating from 8c:21:0a:b3:5a:64 by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING)

Reason is:
When running disconnect operation, sta_info removed from local->sta_hash
by __sta_info_destroy_part1() from __sta_info_flush(), after this,
ieee80211_find_sta_by_ifaddr() which called by
ath11k_wmi_tlv_fw_stats_data_parse() and ath11k_wmi_tlv_rssi_chain_parse()
cannot find this station, then failed log printed.

steps are like this:
1. when disconnect from AP, __sta_info_destroy() called __sta_info_destroy_part1()
and __sta_info_destroy_part2().

2. in __sta_info_destroy_part1(),  it has "sta_info_hash_del(local, sta)"
and "list_del_rcu(&sta->list)", it will remove the ieee80211_sta from the
list of ieee80211_hw.

3. in __sta_info_destroy_part2(), it called drv_sta_state()->ath11k_mac_op_sta_state(),
then peer->sta is clear at this moment.

4. in __sta_info_destroy_part2(), it then called sta_set_sinfo()->drv_sta_statistics()
->ath11k_mac_op_sta_statistics(), then WMI_REQUEST_STATS_CMDID sent to firmware.

5. WMI_UPDATE_STATS_EVENTID reported from firmware, at this moment, the
ieee80211_sta can not be found again because it has remove from list in
step2 and also peer->sta is clear in step3.

6. in __sta_info_destroy_part2(), it then called cleanup_single_sta()->
sta_info_free()->kfree(sta), at this moment, the ieee80211_sta is freed
in memory, then the failed log will not happen because function
ath11k_mac_op_sta_state() will not be called.

Actually this print log is not a real error, it is only to skip parse the
info, so change to skip print by default debug setting.

Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3
