To get firmware statistics, currently ar->pdev->pdev_id is passed as an
argument to ath12k_mac_get_fw_stats() in ath12k_mac_op_sta_statistics().
For single pdev device like WCN7850, its value is 0 which represents the
SoC pdev id. As a result, WCN7850 firmware sends the same reply to host
twice, which further results in memory leak:
unreferenced object 0xffff88812e286000 (size 192):
comm "softirq", pid 0, jiffies 4294981997
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 ff ff ff 33 05 00 00 ............3...
backtrace (crc cecc8c82):

ath12k_wmi_tlv_iter

ath12k_ce_per_engine_service
ath12k_pci_ce_workqueue

Detailed explanation is:
1. ath12k_mac_get_fw_stats() called in ath12k_mac_op_sta_statistics() to
get vdev statistics, making the caller thread wait.
2. firmware sends the first reply, ath12k_wmi_tlv_fw_stats_data_parse()
allocates buffers to cache necessary information. Following that, in
ath12k_wmi_fw_stats_process() if events of all started vdev haved been
received, is_end flag is set hence the waiting thread gets waken up by
the ar->fw_stats_done/->fw_stats_complete signals.
3. ath12k_mac_get_fw_stats() wakes up and returns successfully.
ath12k_mac_op_sta_statistics() saves required parameters and calls
ath12k_fw_stats_reset() to free buffers allocated earlier.
4. firmware sends the second reply. As usual, buffers are allocated and
attached to the ar->fw_stats.vdevs list. Note this time there is no
thread waiting, therefore no chance to free those buffers.
5. ath12k module gets unloaded. If there has been no more firmware
statistics request made since step 4, or if the request fails (see
the example in the following patch), there is no chance to call
ath12k_fw_stats_reset(). Consequently those buffers leak.
Actually for single pdev device, using SoC pdev id in
ath12k_mac_op_sta_statistics() is wrong, because the purpose is to get
statistics of a specific station, which is mapped to a specific pdev. That
said, the id of actual individual pdev should be fetched and used instead.
The helper ath12k_mac_get_target_pdev_id() serves for this purpose, hence
use it to fix this issue. Note it also works for other devices as well due
to the single_pdev_only check inside.
The same applies to ath12k_mac_op_get_txpower() and
ath12k_mac_op_link_sta_statistics() as well.
