cfg80211: track hidden SSID networks properly

Currently, cfg80211 will copy beacon IEs from a previously
received hidden SSID beacon to a probe response entry, if
that entry is created after the beacon entry. However, if
it is the other way around, or if the beacon is updated,
such changes aren't propagated.

Fix this by tracking the relation between the probe
response and beacon BSS structs in this case.

In case drivers have private data stored in a BSS struct
and need access to such data from a beacon entry, cfg80211
now provides the hidden_beacon_bss pointer from the probe
response entry to the beacon entry.

+ * DOC: BSS tree/list structure
+ *
+ * At the top level, the BSS list is kept in both a list in each
+ * registered device (@bss_list) as well as an RB-tree for faster
+ * lookup. In the RB-tree, entries can be looked up using their
+ * channel, MESHID, MESHCONF (for MBSSes) or channel, BSSID, SSID
+ * for other BSSes.
+ *
+ * Due to the possibility of hidden SSIDs, there's a second level
+ * structure, the "hidden_list" and "hidden_beacon_bss" pointer.
+ * The hidden_list connects all BSSes belonging to a single AP
+ * that has a hidden SSID, and connects beacon and probe response
+ * entries. For a probe response entry for a hidden SSID, the
+ * hidden_beacon_bss pointer points to the BSS struct holding the
+ * beacon's information.
+ *
+ * Reference counting is done for all these references except for
+ * the hidden_list, so that a beacon BSS struct that is otherwise
+ * not referenced has one reference for being on the bss_list and
+ * one for each probe response entry that points to it using the
+ * hidden_beacon_bss pointer. When a BSS struct that has such a
+ * pointer is get/put, the refcount update is also propagated to
+ * the referenced struct, this ensure that it cannot get removed
+ * while somebody is using the probe response version.
+ *
+ * Note that the hidden_beacon_bss pointer never changes, due to
+ * the reference counting. Therefore, no locking is needed for
+ * it.
+ *
+ * Also note that the hidden_beacon_bss pointer is only relevant
+ * if the driver uses something other than the IEs, e.g. private
+ * data stored stored in the BSS struct, since the beacon IEs are
+ * also linked into the probe response struct.
