During long hours of stress testing like AP interface up/down along
with continuous ping flood from a station doing connect/disconnect,
it is observed that the system is not able to allocate DMA consistent
memory of size > 512KB chunks as requested by firmware in WMI_SERVICE_EVENTID.
With the system memory getting fragmented during the run based on the
size of the memory requested, the failure to return physically continguous
memory of high order can happen. Once the system gets to this situation,
bringing up the wifi interface will fail and a system reboot may be needed
to make it work again. This problem is obseved with QCA99X0.

To fix this issue, allocate the DMA memory requested by firmware during
device probe time and keep it during the life time of the device. WMI service
ready event handler is changed to allocate the memory chunks if it is
not already allocated or if the memory allocated for the previous ready
event is not same as the current requested ones. After this patch the
memory usage when wifi is inactive will be inceased by few 100KB to
3MB based on the target type.
