Since packets sent to an RA / TID in AGG are sent from a
separate HW Tx queue, we may get into a race:
the regular queue isn't empty while we already begin to
send packets from the AGG queue. This would result in sending
packets out of order.

In order to cope with this, mac80211 waits until the driver
reports that the legacy queue is drained before it can send
packets to the AGG queue. During that time, mac80211 buffers
packets for the driver. These packets will be sent in order
after the driver reports it is ready.

The way this was implemented in the driver is as follows:
We held a counter that monitors the number of packets for
an RA / TID in the HW queues. When this counter reached 0,
we knew that the HW queues were drained and we reported to
mac80211 that were ready to proceed.

This patch changes the implementation described above. We
now remember what is the wifi sequence number of the first
packet that will be sent in the AGG queue (lets' call it
ssn). When we reclaim the packet before ssn, we know that
the queue is drained, and we are ready to proceed.

This will allow us to move this logic in the upper layer and
eventually remove the tid_data from the shared area.

The init microcode knows very well which calibrations
are required and sends us results for those that are.
Consequently, we can just send all of those to the RT
uCode again.

The problem with having the driver know about this is
that it is a uCode feature, not a hardware feature so
the config is completely unsuitable.

The only thing we need to check is whether the device
needs crystal calibration or not, add a new parameter

When we cancel a scan, the completion runs
only from the workqueue. This can cause the
remain-on-channel scan to fail when another
one was just canceled, because we're still
aborting it.

To fix this, run the completion inline with
the lock still held before returning from
iwl_scan_cancel_timeout().

Also, to avoid the scan complete work from
completing a new scan prematurely, add a
new STATUS_SCAN_COMPLETE bit.

Before this patch, the upper layer could register a callback for each
host command. This mechanism allowed the upper layer to have
different callbacks for the same command ID. In fact, it wasn't used
and the rx_handlers is enough: same callback for all the command with
a specific command ID.

The iwl_send_add_station needs the access the command that was sent
while handling the response (regardless if the command was sent in
SYNC or ASYNC mode). So now, all the handlers receive the host
command that was sent. This implies a change in the handler signature.

This logic is responsible to tell mac80211 when the HW queues are
empty and the BA session can be started / torn down.

Fix a bug on the way:
When the the Tx BA session is stopped and the HW queues aren't empty,
we stop the SW queue to drain the HW queue and then switch to the
legacy HW queue. This is the IWL_EMPTYING_HW_QUEUE_DELBA state.

While in this state, we never wake the SW queue, even when the HW
queue is almost empty, since we need to drain it completely. Look
at iwl_trans_pcie_reclaim regarding this.

Once the HW queue is really empty, we must wake the SW queue in order
to get traffic to the legacy queue.
This step was missing leading to an odd situation were the traffic
would just stall after we tore down a Tx BA session while the HW
queue was not empty.
