Currently the patch doesn't account for the number of connected TDLS
station properly. This can lead to firmware crash when number of
allowed station peers is exceeded:

Function ath10k_mac_{inc,dec}_num_stations() need to be fixed so that
ar->num_stations (the following was *not* tested), e.g.:

        if (ar->num_stations >= ar->max_num_stations)
