The assumption is that during the hw config, transmission was
already stopped by mac80211. Sometimes the AP can be switching
b/w the ht modes due to intolerant or etc where STA is in
the middle of transmission. In such scenario, buffer overflow
was observed at driver side. And also before updating the rate
control, the frames are continued to xmited with older rates.
This patch ensures that the frames are always xmitted with
updated rates and avoid buffer overflow.

Tx flow control for non-mesh modes of operation only needs to act on the
net device queues: when the hardware queues are full we stop accepting
traffic from the net device.  In mesh, however, we also need to stop
forwarding traffic.  This patch checks the hardware queues before
attempting to forward a mesh frame.

This patch replaces the code for getting an number from a

This makes it easier to read and less error prone.

Since the old buffer was only 10 bytes long and the value is masked by a
nibble-mask anyway, we don't need to use kstrtoul but rather kstrtou8.

When associating to an AP, the station might miss the first EAP
packet that the AP sends due to a race condition between the association
success procedure and the rx flow in mac80211.
In such cases, the packet might fall in ieee80211_rx_h_check due to
the fact that the relevant rx->sta wasn't allocated yet.
Allocation of the relevant station info struct before actually
sending the association request and setting it with a new
dummy_sta flag solve this problem.
The station will accept only EAP packets from the AP while it
is in the pre-association/dummy state.
This dummy station entry is not seen by normal sta_info_get()
calls, only by sta_info_get_bss_rx().
The driver is not notified for the first insertion of the
dummy station. The driver is notified only after the association
is complete and the dummy flag is removed from the station entry.
That way, all the rest of the code flow should be untouched by
this change.

	- Add new Peering management IE
	- Remove old Peer Link IE

As described at [1] some STAs (i.e. Intel 5100 Windows) can end up
correctly BlockAcking incoming frames without delivering them to user
space if a AMPDU subframe got lost and we don't flush the receipients
reorder buffer with a BlockAckReq. This in turn results in stuck
connections.

According to 802.11n-2009 it is not necessary to send a BAR to flush
the recepients RX reorder buffer but we still do that to be polite.

However, assume the following frame exchange:

AP -> STA, AMPDU (failed)
AP -> STA, BAR (failed)

The client in question then ends up in the same situation and won't
deliver frames to userspace anymore since we weren't able to flush
its reorder buffer.

This is not a hypothetical situation but I was able to observe this
exact behavior during a stress test between a rt2800pci AP and a Intel
5100 Windows client.

In order to work around this issue just tear down the BA session as
soon as a BAR failed to be TX'ed.

When a PREQ or PREP is received from an intermediate node, it contains
useful information for path selection but it doesn't include the
originator's sequence number.   Therefore, when updating the mesh path
to that intermediate node, we should not set the MESH_PATH_SN_VALID
flag.  BUT, if the flag is set, it should not be unset as we might have
received a valid sequence number for that intermediate node in the past.
