    iwlagn: do not use interruptible waits

    Since the dawn of its time, iwlwifi has used
    interruptible waits to wait for synchronous
    commands and firmware loading.

    This leads to "interesting" bugs, because it
    can't actually handle the interruptions; for
    example when a command sending is interrupted
    it will assume the command completed fully,
    and then leave it pending, which leads to all
    kinds of trouble when the command finishes
    later.

    Since there's no easy way to gracefully deal
    with interruptions, fix the driver to not use
    interruptible waits.

    This at least fixes the error
    iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: Error: Response NULL in  'REPLY_SCAN_ABORT_CMD'

    I have seen in P2P testing, but it is likely
    that there are other errors caused by this.

The return value of the tx operation is commonly
misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers
will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and
they must also properly manage the queues (if they
didn't, mac80211 would already warn).

Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY
value also allows significant cleanups of the TX
TX handling code in mac80211.

Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the
old "return -1" there was wrong.

In order to simplify the flow, and make new
enhancements easier, separate out the RXON
processing for modern AGN (5000 and newer)
from RXON processing for the older 3945 and
4965 devices. Avoid changing these old ones
to avoid regressions and move their code to
a new file (iwl-legacy.c). 4965 gets the
commit_rxon that used to be common for all
AGN devices, but with removed PAN support.

The new RXON processing is more central and
does more work in committing, so that it is
easier to follow.

To make it more evident what is split out
for legacy, split the necessary operations
for that into a new struct iwl_legacy_ops.
Those parts that still exist in the new AGN
code don't need to be parametrized.

iwl3945's scan_completed calls into the mac80211 stack which triggers a
warn on if there is no scan outstanding.

This can be avoided by not calling scan_completed but abort_scan in
iwl3945_request_scan  in the done: branch of the function which is used
as an error out.

The done: branch seems to be an error-out branch, as, for example, if
iwl_is_ready(priv) returns false  the done: branch is executed.

NOTE:
I'm not familiar with the driver at all.
I just quickly scanned as a reaction to

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17722

Currently we force scan complete at the end of iwl_scan_cancel_timeout

code to force scan complete only when really needed: device goes down,
interface is removed or scan timeout occurs.
