Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] wifi: ath11k: use plain accesses for monitor descriptor

The read memory barrier added by commit ab52e3e44fe9 ("wifi: ath11k: fix
rx completion meta data corruption") is enough to guarantee ordering
also for plain descriptor accesses so drop the unnecessary READ_ONCE().

Tested-on: WCN6855 hw2.1 WLAN.HSP.1.1-03125-QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE-3.6510.41
