ath11k: Reuse the available memory after firmware reload

Ath11k allocates memory when firmware requests memory in QMI.
Coldboot calibration and firmware recovery uses firmware reload.
On firmware reload, firmware sends memory request again. If Ath11k
allocates memory on first firmware boot, reuse the available
memory. Also check if the segment type and size is same
on the next firmware boot. Reuse if segment type/size is
same as previous firmware boot else free the segment and
allocate the segment with size/type.
