This patch is intended to solve the follwing issues in RANN propagation:
[1] The interval in propagated RANN should be based on the interval of received RANN.
[2] The aggregated path metric for propagated RANN is as received plus own link metric
    towards the transmitting mesh STA (not root mesh STA).
[3] The comparison of path metric for RANN with same sequence number should be done
    before deciding whether to propagate or not.

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.

We used to initiate a path discovery when receiving a frame for which
there is no forwarding information. To cut down on PREQ spam, just send
a (gated) PERR in response.

Also separate path discovery logic from nexthop querying. This patch
means we no longer queue frames when forwarding, so kill the PERR TX
stuff in discard_frame().

Don't accept redundant PREQs for a given destination. This fixes a
problem under high load:

kernel: [20386.250913] mesh_queue_preq: 235 callbacks suppressed
kernel: [20386.253335] Mesh HWMP (mesh0): PREQ node queue full
kernel: [20386.253352] Mesh HWMP (mesh0): PREQ node queue full
(...)

The 802.11s protocol has a provision to limit the rate of path requests
(PREQs) are transmitted (dot11MeshHWMPpreqMinInterval) but there was no
limit on the rate at which PREQs were being queued up.  There is a valid
reason for queuing PREQs: this way we can even out PREQ bursts.  But
queueing multiple PREQs for the same destination is useless.

This adds proper RCU annotations to the mesh path
table code, and fixes a number of bugs in the code
that I found while checking the sparse warnings I
got as a result of the annotations.

Some things like the changes in mesh_path_add() or
mesh_pathtbl_init() only serve to shut up sparse,
but other changes like the changes surrounding the
for_each_mesh_entry() macro fix real RCU bugs in
the code.

The locking in mesh_{mpath,mpp}_table_grow not only
has an rcu_read_unlock() missing, it's also racy
(though really only technically since it's invoked
from a single function only) since it obtains the
new size of the table without any locking, so two
invocations of the function could attempt the same
resize.

Additionally, it uses synchronize_rcu() which is
rather expensive and can be avoided trivially here.

Modify the functions to only use the table lock
and use call_rcu() instead of synchronize_rcu().

This adds sparse RCU annotations to most of
mac80211, only the mesh code remains to be
done.

Due the the previous patches, the annotations
are pretty simple. The only thing that this
actually changes is removing the RCU usage of
key->sta in debugfs since this pointer isn't
actually an RCU-managed pointer (it only has
a single assignment done before the key even
goes live). As that is otherwise harmless, I
decided to make it part of this patch.

The Mesh Control header only includes 0, 1 or 2 addresses. If there is
one address, it should be interpreted as Address 4.  If there are 2,
they are interpreted as Addresses 5 and 6 (Address 4 being the 4th
address in the 802.11 header).

The address extension used to hold up to 3 addresses instead of the current 2.
I'm not sure which draft version changed this, but it is very unlikely that it
will change again given the state of the approval process of this draft.  See
section 7.1.3.6.3 in current draft (8.0).

Also, note that the extra address that I'm removing was not being used, so this
change has no effect on over-the-air frame formats.  But I thought I better
remove it before someone does start using it.

Instead of tying mesh activity to interface up,
add join and leave commands for mesh. Since we
must be backward compatible, let cfg80211 handle
joining a mesh if a mesh ID was pre-configured
when the device goes up.

Note that this therefore must modify mac80211 as
well since mac80211 needs to lose the logic to
start the mesh on interface up.

We now allow querying mesh parameters before the
mesh is connected, which simply returns defaults.
Setting them (internally renamed to "update") is
only allowed while connected. Specify them with
the new mesh join command instead where needed.

In mac80211, beaconing must now also follow the
mesh enabled/not enabled state, which is done
by testing the mesh ID.

The netdev broadcast address cannot change from
all-ones so there's no need to use it; we can
instead hard-code it. Since we already have an
instance in tkip.c, which will be shared if it
is marked static const, doing this reduces text
size at no data/bss cost.

The real motivation for this is, of course, the
desire to get rid of almost all uses of netdevs
in mac80211 so that auditing their use becomes
easier.

Mesh uses the tx failure average to compute the (m)path metric.  This used to
be done inside the rate control module.  This patch breaks the dependency
between the mesh stack and the rate control algorithm.  Mesh will now work
independently of the chosen rate control algorithm.

The mesh stack keeps a moving average of the average transmission losses for
each mesh peer station.  If the fail average exceeds a certain threshold, the
peer link is marked as broken.
