Blindly setting ht caps on a mesh peer's station entry would result in
MCS rates being used by the rate control algorithm even if no ht had

This patch unifies the previous two paths toward mesh peer creation a
bit. It also fixes a bug where a peer's changing rates or HT mode
wouldn't register on leaving and then returning to the mesh with a sta
entry still present.
Also clean up locking and clear possibly stale ht cap.

This based on an idea posted by Stanislaw Gruszka,
though I accept full blame for the implementation!
This has been tested with ath9k.
The idea is to let users scan on the current operating
channel without interrupting normal traffic more than
absolutely necessary (changing power level might reset
some hardware, for instance).

The broken check leads to rate control attempting to use HT40 while
the driver is configured for HT20. This leads to interesting hardware
issues.
HT40 can only be used if the channel type is either HT40- or HT40+
and if the channel type of the cell matches the local type.

Cooked monitor rx was recently changed to use ieee80211_add_rx_radiotap_header
instead of generating only limited radiotap information.
ieee80211_add_rx_radiotap_header assumes that FCS info is still present if
the hardware supports receiving it, however when cooked monitor rx packets
are processed, FCS info has already been stripped.
Fix this by adding an extra flag indicating FCS presence.

When testing mesh synchronization we observed a global TSF slowdown that
was dependent on the number of synchronized mesh stations. This seems
to be caused by the TSF adjustment (read/write) latency.
Adding a small margin to the Toffset setpoint solved the problem.

Commit 3a25a8c8 (mac80211: add improved HW queue control) introduced a
bug when running in AP mode without the IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL
flag set. The ieee80211_check_queues() function always returns
-EINVAL, preventing AP mode from starting. To fix this, check whether
this flag is set before checking if cab_queue is set properly.

I noticed a possible issue in the status count field management of the
ieee80211_tx_info data structure. In particular, when the AGGR
processing is employed,
status.rates[].count is set just for the first frame and not for
others belonging to the same burst, leading to wrong statistic data in
the mac80211 debug file system.

In WoWLAN, we only get the triggers when we actually get
to suspend. As a consequence, drivers currently don't
know that the device should enable wakeup. However, the
device_set_wakeup_enable() API is intended to be called
when the wakeup is enabled, not later when needed.
Add a new set_wakeup() call to cfg80211 and mac80211 to
allow drivers to properly call device_set_wakeup_enable.

mac80211 currently only supports one hardware queue
per AC. This is already problematic for off-channel
uses since if we go off channel while the BE queue
is full and then try to send an off-channel frame
the frame will never go out. This will become worse
when we support multi-channel since then a queue on
one channel might be full, but we have to stop the
software queue for all channels. That is obviously
not desirable.
To address this problem allow drivers to register
more hardware queues, and allow them to map them to
virtual interfaces. When they stop a hardware queue
the corresponding AC software queues on the correct
interfaces will be stopped as well. Additionally,
there's an off-channel queue to solve that problem
and a per-interface after-DTIM beacon queue. This
allows drivers to manage software queues closer to
how the hardware works.
Currently, there's a limit of 16 hardware queues.
This may or may not be sufficient, we can adjust it
as needed.

The queue mapping redesign that I'm planning to do
will break pure injection unless we handle monitor
interfaces explicitly. One possible option would
be to have the driver tell mac80211 about monitor
mode queues etc., but that would duplicate the API
since we already need to have queue assignments
handled per virtual interface.
So in order to solve this, have a virtual monitor
interface that is added whenever all active vifs
are monitors. We could also use the state of one
of the monitor interfaces, but managing that would
be complicated, so allocate separate state.

This patch adds MBSS extensible synchronization framework (Sec.
13.13.2 of IEEE Std. 802.11-2012).
The framework is implemented via an ops table which defines the
following functions:
rx_bcn_presp() - this is called every time a mesh beacon is
received.
adjust_tbtt() - this is called immediately before a beacon is about
to be transmitted.
The default neighbor offset synchronization defined in the standard is
implemented. We also provide template functions for vendor specific
methods.
When neighbor offset synchronization is active (which is the default)
mesh neighbors in the same MBSS will track timing offsets to each other
and compensate clock drift.
In our tests we observed that this mesh synchronization implementation
successfully corrected drifts between stations of ~2PPM while
introducing a jitter of ~20us.
It is also possible to test this framework on mac80211_hwsim simulated
phys to see how it behaves under different topologies, over poor links,
etc.

Reading and writing back the tsf value via tsf is too slow if one wants
to make small increments to this timer. With this change you can use
the syntax "+=<some value>" or "-=<some value>" to add or substract a
value from the tsf counter.

Before memcpy() in ieee80211_probereq_get() check ssid_len instead of
ssid pointer, sice pointer it always passed by "ssidie + 2" expression
to send probe functions, so practically never can be NULL.

When we get more hardware queues, we'll still want
to only have netdev queues per AC, so set it up in
that way. If the hardware doesn't support QoS (by
not supporting at least 4 queues) the netdevs get
a single queue only (this is no change in behavior
as there are no drivers with 2 or 3 queues today.)

Drivers that don't support QoS also don't support
setting up their ACs, catch that early. While at
it, remove the input check since cfg80211 does it
now.
Also fix up the restart code to not try to set up
the queues in this case.
Finally also change the tx_conf array to have
IEEE80211_NUM_ACS entries instead of # of queues
since that's what it really needs.

The channel type argument to the rate_update()
callback isn't really the correct way to give
the rate control algorithm about the desired
RX bandwidth of the peer.
Remove this argument, and instead update the
STA capabilities with 20/40 appropriately. The
SMPS update done by this callback works in the
same way, so this makes the callback cleaner.

Changing the channel type during operation is
confusing to some drivers and will be hard to
handle in multi-channel scenarios. Instead of
changing the channel, set it to the right HT
channel before authenticating/associating and
don't change it -- just update the 20/40 MHz
restrictions in rate control as needed when
changed by the AP.
This also fixes a problem that Paul missed in
his fix for the "regulatory makes us deaf"
issue -- when we couldn't use 40 MHz we still
associated saying we were using 40 MHz, which
could in similarly broken APs make us never
even connect successfully.

Not all devices are really capable of implementing
remain-on-channel, even if it is implemented in SW,
as they can't necessarily deal with channel changes
while associated.
Remove the WIPHY_FLAG_HAS_REMAIN_ON_CHANNEL and add
it only if either the driver has remain_on_channel

Also add it to all drivers that advertise P2P right
