If a WMI command has timed out for some reason,
a late WMI response would end up updating the
response region of a new WMI request that has been
issued in the meantime.

Fix this race condition by dropping a WMI response
if a new WMI command has been issued.

This patch adds support for writing multiple registers
in a single USB command.

Specific calls from the HW code that performs multiple
register writes would be modified to make use of this
in subsequent patches.

In ath9k-htc register out path, ath9k-htc will pass skb->data into
usb hcd and usb hcd will do dma mapping and unmapping to the buffer
pointed by skb->data, so we should pass a cache-line aligned address.

This patch replace __dev_alloc_skb with alloc_skb to make skb->data
pointed to a cacheline aligned address simply since ath9k-htc does not
skb_push on the skb and pass it to mac80211, also use kfree_skb to free
the skb allocated by alloc_skb(we can use kfree_skb safely in hardirq
context since skb->destructor is NULL always in the path).
