Commit [1] introduces dp->reo_cmd_update_rx_queue_list for the purpose
of tracking all pending REO queue flush commands. The helper
ath12k_dp_prepare_reo_update_elem() allocates an element and populates
it with REO queue information, then add it to the list. The element would
be helpful during clean up stage to finally unmap/free the corresponding
REO queue buffer.
In MLO scenarios with more than one links, for non dp_primary_link_only
chips like WCN7850, that helper is called for each link peer. This
results in multiple elements added to the list but all of them pointing
to the same REO queue buffer. Consequently the same buffer gets
unmap/freed multiple times:

Fix this by allowing list addition for primary link only. Note
dp_primary_link_only chips like QCN9274 are not affected by this change,
because that's what they were doing in the first place.
