wifi: ath12k: Decrease ath12k_mac_station_assoc() stack usage
Building the ath12k driver with llvm-18.1.7-x86_64 produces the warning:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath12k/mac.c:5606:12: warning: stack frame size (1176) exceeds limit (1024) in 'ath12k_mac_op_sta_state' [-Wframe-larger-than]
ath12k_mac_op_sta_state() itself does not consume much stack, but it
calls ath12k_mac_handle_link_sta_state() which in turn calls
ath12k_mac_station_add(). Since those are both static functions with
only one caller, it is suspected that these both get inlined, and
their stack usage is reported for ath12k_mac_op_sta_state().
A major contributor to the ath12k_mac_station_assoc() stack usage is:
struct ath12k_wmi_peer_assoc_arg peer_arg;
Avoid the excess stack usage by dynamically allocating peer_arg
instead of declaring it on the stack.
