We just found a bug in zd1211rw where it would reject
packets in the ->tx() method but leave them modified,
which would cause retransmit attempts with completely
bogus skbs, eventually leading to a panic due to not
having enough headroom in those.

This patch adds a sanity check to mac80211 to catch
such driver mistakes; in this case we warn and drop
the skb.

When TX aggregation becomes operational, we do a number of steps:
 1) print a debug message
 2) wake the virtual queue
 3) notify the driver

Unfortunately, 1) and 3) are only done if the driver is first to
reply to the aggregation request, it is, however, possible that the
remote station replies before the driver! Thus, unify the code for
this and call the new function ieee80211_agg_tx_operational in both
places where TX aggregation can become operational.

Additionally, rename the driver notification from
IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_RESUME to IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL.

__ieee80211_tx takes a struct ieee80211_tx_data argument, but only
uses a few of its members, namely 'skb' and 'sta'. Make that explicit,
so that less internal knowledge is required in ieee80211_tx_pending
and the possibility of introducing errors here is removed.

The pending packets code is quite incomprehensible, uses memory barriers
nobody really understands, etc. This patch reworks it entirely, using
the queue spinlock, proper stop bits and the skb queues themselves to
indicate whether packets are pending or not (rather than a separate
variable like before).

Internally, mac80211 requires the skb's queue mapping to be set
to the AC queue, not the virtual A-MPDU queue. This is not done
correctly currently, this patch moves the code down to directly
before the driver is invoked and adds a comment that it will be
moved into the driver later.

Since this requires __ieee80211_tx() to have the sta pointer,
make sure to provide it in ieee80211_tx_pending().

Fragmentation currently uses an allocated array to store the
fragment skbs, and then keeps track of which have been sent
and which are still pending etc. This is rather complicated;
make it simpler by just chaining the fragments into skb->next
and removing from that list when sent. Also simplifies all
code that needs to touch fragments, since it now only needs
to walk the skb->next list.

This is a prerequisite for fixing the stored packet code,
which I need to do for proper aggregation packet storing.

Luis reports that there's a circular locking dependency;
this is because cfg80211_dev_rename() will acquire the
cfg80211_mutex while the device mutex is held, while
this normally is done the other way around. The solution
is to open-code the device-getting in nl80211_set_wiphy
and require holding the mutex around cfg80211_dev_rename
rather than acquiring it within.

Also fix a bug -- rtnl locking is expected by drivers so
we need to provide it.

received frames with incorrect rate indexes.  Such frames
normally get dropped with a warning in __ieee80211_rx(),

still trigger during idle periods, that needs to be fixed later.

There's also a functional change that probe requests are sent only when the
data path is idle, earlier they were sent also while there was activity
on the data path.

It seems a few users are using this module parameter although its not

for setting this in userspace. I'm not aware of any distribution using
this though.

Until userspace and distributions catch up with a default userspace
automatic replacement (GeoClue integration would be nirvana) we copy
the ieee80211_regdom module parameter from OLD_REG to the new reg
code to help these users migrate.

Users who are using the non-valid ISO / IEC 3166 alpha "EU" in their
ieee80211_regdom module parameter and migrate to non-OLD_REG enabled
system will world roam.

This also schedules removal of this same ieee80211_regdom module

The incorrect assumption is the last regulatory request
(last_request) is always a country IE when processing
country IEs. Although this is true 99% of the time the
first time this happens this could not be true.

This fixes an oops in the branch check for the last_request
when accessing drv_last_ie. The access was done under the
assumption the struct won't be null.
