Calling mod_timer from the rx/tx hotpath is somewhat expensive, and the
timeout doesn't need to be so precise.

Switch to a different strategy: Schedule the timer initially, store jiffies
of all last rx/tx activity which would previously modify the timer, and
let the timer re-arm itself after checking the last rx/tx timestamp.
Make the session timers deferrable to avoid causing extra wakeups on systems
running on battery.
This visibly reduces CPU load under high network load on small embedded
systems.

Since some of the HT code pre-dates 802.11n-2009
some names are wrong. The one that bothers me most
is that "HT operation" is called "HT information"
in our code and that causes confusion.

Rename "HT information" to "HT operation" and also
the control_chan field to primary_chan to match
the name used in the spec.

While setting up or tearing down a BA session mac80211 is buffering
pending frames for the according TID. However, there's currently no
limit on how many frames are buffered possibly leading to an out-of-
memory situation. This can happen on systems with little memory when
the CPU is fully loaded since the BA session work is executed in
process context while frames can still come via softirq.

Apply a limitation to the TIDs pending queue to avoid consuming
too much memory in this situation.

This renames the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_POLL_RESPONSE
TX flag to IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER and also
uses it for non-bufferable MMPDUs (all MMPDUs but
deauth, disassoc and action frames.)

Previously, mac80211 would let the MMPDU through
but not set the flag so drivers supporting some
hardware aids for avoiding the PS races would
then reject the frame.

The AP/GO mode API isn't very clearly defined, it
has "set beacon" and "new beacon" etc.

Modify the API to the following:
 * start AP -- all settings
 * change beacon -- new beacon data
 * stop AP -- stop AP mode operation

This also reflects in the nl80211 API, rename
the commands there correspondingly (but keep
the old names for compatibility.)

Overall, this makes it much clearer what's going
on in the API.

Currently, each AP interface will send multicast

the correct interface has at least one authorized
station.

Station entries can have various states, the most
important ones being auth, assoc and authorized.
This patch prepares us for telling the driver about
these states, we don't want to confuse drivers with
strange transitions, so with this we enforce that
they move in the right order between them (back and
forth); some transitions might happen before the
driver even knows about the station, but at least
runtime transitions will be ordered correctly.

As a consequence, IBSS and MESH stations will now
have the ASSOC flag set (so they can transition to
AUTHORIZED), and we can get rid of a special case
in TX processing.

When freeing a station, unwind the state so that
other parts of the code (or drivers later) can rely
on the transitions.

Emmanuel reported that my previous patches to enable
handing all fragments to drivers at once triggered
the warning that the SKB queue wasn't empty. This is
happening when we actually queue up some frames and
don't hand them to the driver (queues are stopped).

The reason for it is that my code that splices the
frame(s) over to the pending queue didn't re-init
the local queue, so skb_queue_empty() was false. Fix
this by using the _init versions of the splicing.

Also, convert the warning to WARN_ON_ONCE.

  Currently tx aggregation is not being timed out even if timeout is
specified when aggregation is opened. Tx tid stays active until delba
arrives from recipient (i.e. recipient times out tid when it is
inactive).
  The problem with this approach is that delba can get lost in the air
and tx tid will stay perpetually opened on the originator while closed
on recipient thus all data sent via this tid will be lost.
  This patch implements tx tid timeouting in way very similar to rx tid
timeouting.

The shared key authentication frame that needs to be
encrypted (the third one in the shared key handshake)
is directly encrypted in ieee80211_send_auth and the
IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT is set. All others
are not encrypted, so the only way to get to this is
erroneously on no-monitor AP side.

Remove the special case for authentication frames to
fix the AP shared key side when operating without
cooked monitor interfaces -- with cooked monitor the
IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT also gets set, so we
never get here -- an AP never encrypts auth frames.

This was another workaround for truesize "bugs".
The reason we did this was that when we orphaned

Now that the check is gone (and we just charge
the former smaller size to the socket) there's
no longer a reason to orphan the skb here.

Keep the skb charged to the socket until it is
really freed (or orphaned in TX status). This
