While leaving oper channel, STA informs sleep state to AP to
stop sending data. Till sending ack for the nullfunc, AP
continues to send the data to STA which restarts ps_timer that
is causing unnecessary nullfunc exchange on timer expiry
when the STA was already moved to offchannel. So don't restart ps_timer
on data reception during scan. This issue was identified by
the following warning.

When running as a 4-addr station against an AP that has the 4-addr VLAN
interface and the main 3-addr AP interface bridged together, sometimes
frames originating from the station were looping back from the 3-addr AP
interface, causing the bridge code to emit warnings about receiving frames
with its own source address.
I'm not sure why this is happening yet, but I think it's a good idea to
drop all frames (except 802.1x/EAP frames) that do not match the configured
addressing mode, including 4-address frames sent to a 3-address station.

It converts the previously local "frames" queue into

Only one active rx handler worker [ieee80211_rx_handlers]

Add a new notification to indicate that a received, unprotected
Deauthentication or Disassociation frame was dropped due to
management frame protection being in use. This notification is
needed to allow user space (e.g., wpa_supplicant) to implement
SA Query procedure to recover from association state mismatch
between an AP and STA.

This is needed to avoid getting stuck in non-working state when MFP
(IEEE 802.11w) is used and a protected Deauthentication or
Disassociation frame is dropped for any reason. After that, the
station would silently discard any unprotected Deauthentication or
Disassociation frame that could be indicating that the AP does not
have association for the STA (when the Reason Code would be 6 or 7).

This patch fixes an curious issue due to insufficient
rx frame filtering.

Saqeb Akhter reported frequent disconnects while streaming
videos over samba: <http://marc.info/?m=128600031109136>
> [ 1166.512087] wlan1: deauthenticated from 30:46:9a:10:49:f7 (Reason: 7)

> [ 2125.324356] wlan1: deauthenticated from 30:46:9a:10:49:f7 (Reason: 7)
> [...]

The reason is that the device generates frames with slightly
bogus SA/TA addresses.

e.g.:
 [ 2314.402316] Ignore 9f:1f:31:f8:64:ff
 [ 2314.402321] Ignore 9f:1f:31:f8:64:ff
 [ 2352.453804] Ignore 0d:1f:31:f8:64:ff
 [ 2352.453808] Ignore 0d:1f:31:f8:64:ff
 					   ^^ the group-address flag is set!
 (the correct SA/TA would be: 00:1f:31:f8:64:ff)

Since the AP does not know from where the frames come, it
generates a DEAUTH response for the (invalid) mcast address.
This mcast deauth frame then passes through all filters and
tricks the stack into thinking that the AP brutally kicked
us!

This patch fixes the problem by simply ignoring
non-broadcast, group-addressed deauth/disassoc frames.

The code to handle powersaving stations has a race:
when the powersave flag is lifted from a station,
we could transmit a packet that is being processed
for TX at the same time right away, even if there
are other frames queued for it. This would cause
frame reordering. To fix this, lift the flag only
under the appropriate lock that blocks TX.

Additionally, the code to allow drivers to block a
station while frames for it are on the HW queue is
never re-enabled the station, so traffic would get
stuck indefinitely. Fix this by clearing the flag
for this appropriately.

Finally, as an optimisation, don't do anything if
the driver unblocks an already unblocked station.

    mac80211: move cmntr flag out of rx flags

moved the CMNTR flag into the skb RX flags for
some aggregation cleanups, but this was wrong
since the optimisation this flag tried to make
requires that it is kept across the processing
of multiple interfaces -- which isn't true for
flags in the skb. The patch not only broke the
optimisation, it also introduced a bug: under
some (common!) circumstances the flag will be
set on an already freed skb!

However, investigating this in more detail, I
found that most of the flags that we set should
be per packet, _except_ for this one, due to
a-MPDU processing. Additionally, the flags used
for processing (currently just this one) need
to be reset before processing a new packet.

Since we haven't actually seen bugs reported as
a result of the wrong flags handling (which is
not too surprising -- the only real bug case I
can come up with is an a-MSDU contained in an
a-MPDU), I'll make a different fix for rc.

Even if the reorder timeout timer fires while
scanning, the frames weren't received during
scanning and therefore shouldn't be dropped.
To implement this, changes to the passive scan
RX handler simplify understanding it, because
it currently checks HW_SCANNING independently
of a packet's in-scan receive status (which
doesn't make a big difference, since scan_rx()
will only pick up probe responses and beacons,
which can't be aggregated.)

    mac80211: move cmntr flag out of rx flags

moved the CMTR flag into the skb's status, and
in doing so introduced a use-after-free -- when
the skb has been handed to cooked monitors the
status setting will touch now invalid memory.

Additionally, moving it there has effectively
discarded the optimisation -- since the bit is
only ever set on freed SKBs, and those were a
copy, it could never be checked.

For the current release, fixing this properly
is a bit too involved, so let's just remove the
problematic code and leave userspace with one
copy of each frame for each virtual interface.
