Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: use local memory instead of shadow descriptor
 in ce_send

Currently to avoid uncached memory access while filling up copy engine
descriptors, shadow descriptors are used. This can be optimized further
by removing shadow descriptors. To achieve that first shadow ring
dependency in ce_send is removed by creating local copy of the
descriptor on stack and make a one-shot copy into the "uncached"
descriptor.
