mac80211: add interface list lock

Using only the RTNL has a number of problems, most notably that
ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() and other interface list
traversals cannot be done from the internal workqueue because it
needs to be flushed under the RTNL.

This patch introduces a new mutex that protects the interface list
against modifications. A more detailed explanation is part of the
code change.
