We would get an oops on RX on -ENOMEM by passing
NULL to the hardware on ath_rx_buf_link(). The oops
would look something like this:

ath_rx_tasklet+0x515/0x53b
ath9k_tasklet+0x48
tasklet_action
__do_softirq
irq_exit
do_IRQ

RIP: ath_rx_buf_link+0x3a

We correct this by handling the requeue directly on
the ath_rx_tasklet() and trying to allocate an skb
*prior* to sending up the last hardware processed
skb. If we run out of memory this gauranteees we have
skbs to work with while it simply drops new received
frames.

We "optimize" away the get_state() hook call on rfkill_toggle_radio
when doing a forced state change.  This means the resume path is not
calling get_state() as it should.

Call it manually on the resume handler, as we don't want to mess with
the EPO path by removing the optimization.  This has the added benefit
of making it explicit that rfkill->state could have been modified
before we hit the rfkill_toggle_radio() call in the class resume
handler.

The rfkill class API requires that the driver connected to a class
call rfkill_force_state() on resume to update the real state of the
rfkill controller, OR that it provides a get_state() hook.

This means there is potentially a hidden call in the resume code flow
that changes rfkill->state (i.e. rfkill_force_state()), so the
previous state of the transmitter was being lost.

The simplest and most future-proof way to fix this is to explicitly
store the pre-sleep state on the rfkill structure, and restore from
that on resume.

mac80211's ieee80211_register_hw() is often called within the
probe path so it cannot assume the device's driver structure
has been attached yet so to create a workqueue instead of
using driver->name use the wiphy's phy%d name. The name doesn't
really matter anyway.

This should fix sporadic oopses found when we race to beat the
driver pointer setting. Not even sure how this was working properly.
