Add new nl80211 event notifications (and a new multicast group, "mlme")
for informing user space about received and processed Authentication,
(Re)Association Response, Deauthentication, and Disassociation frames in
station and IBSS modes (i.e., MLME SAP interface primitives
MLME-AUTHENTICATE.confirm, MLME-ASSOCIATE.confirm,
MLME-REASSOCIATE.confirm, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.indicate, and
MLME-DISASSOCIATE.indication). The event data is encapsulated as the 802.11
management frame since we already have the frame in that format and it
includes all the needed information.
This is the initial step in providing MLME SAP interface for
authentication and association with nl80211. In other words, kernel code
will act as the MLME and a user space application can control it as the
SME.

We must not clear the previous BSSID when roaming to another AP within
the same ESS for reassociation to be used properly. It is fine to
clear this when the SSID changes, so let's move the code into
ieee80211_sta_set_ssid().

necessarily the first A-MPDU of an aggregation) to mac80211.

ieee80211_tx_h_check_assoc() was dropping everything else than probe
requests during software scan. So the nullfunc frame with the power save
bit was dropped and AP never received it. This meant that AP never
buffered any frames for the station during software scan.
Fix this by allowing to transmit both probe request and nullfunc frames
during software scan. Tested with stlc45xx.

When I added scanning to cfg80211, we got a lock dependency like this:
rtnl --> cfg80211_mtx
nl80211, on the other hand, has the reverse lock dependency:
cfg80211_mtx --> rtnl
which clearly is a bad idea. This patch reworks nl80211 to take these
two locks in the other order to fix the possible, and easily
triggerable, deadlock.

When the driver has been notified with a STA_REMOVE, it tears down
the internal ADDBA state. On resume, trying to initiate aggregation would
fail because mac80211 has not cleared the operational state for that <TID,STA>.
This can be fixed by tearing down the existing sessions on a suspend.
Also, the driver can initiate a new BA session when suspend is in progress.
This is fixed by marking the station as being in suspend state and
denying ADDBA requests for such STAs.

If a scan is queued in STA mode while the interface is in state direct
probe, authenticate or associate the scan is delayed until the interface
enters disabled or associated state. But in case of direct probe-,
authentication- or association- timeout sta_work will not be scheduled
anymore (without external trigger) and thus the pending scan is not
executed and prevents a new scan from being triggered (-EBUSY).
Fix this by queueing the sta work again after direct probe-, authentication-
and association- timeout.
