ixgbe: Fix issues with SR-IOV loopback when flow control is disabled

This patch allows us to avoid a Tx hang when SR-IOV is enabled.  This hang
can be triggered by sending small packets at a rate that was triggering Rx
missed errors from the adapter while the internal Tx switch and at least
one VF are enabled.

This was all due to the fact that under heavy stress the Rx FIFO never
drained below the flow control high water mark.  This resulted in the Tx
FIFO being head of line blocked due to the fact that it relies on the flow
control high water mark to determine when it is acceptable for the Tx to
place a packet in the Rx FIFO.

The resolution for this is to set the FCRTH value to the RXPBSIZE - 32 so
that even if the ring is almost completely full we can still place Tx
packets on the Rx ring and drop incoming Rx traffic if we do not have
sufficient space available in the Rx FIFO.

net: do not do gso for CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY in netif_needs_gso

This is related to fixing the bug of dropping FCoE frames when disabling tx ip
checksum by 'ethtool -K ethx tx off'. The FCoE protocol stack driver would
use CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY on tx path instead of CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (as indicated in
the 2/2 of this series). To do so, netif_needs_gso() has to be changed here to
not do gso for both CHECKSUM_PARTIAL and CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.

fcoe: use CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY instead of CHECKSUM_PARTIAL on tx

Fix a bug when using 'ethtool -K ethx tx off' to turn off tx ip checksum,
FCoE CRC offload should not be impacte. The skb_checksum_help() is needed
only if it's not FCoE traffic for ip checksum, regardless of ethtool toggling
the tx ip checksum on or off. Instead of using CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, we will
use CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY as a proper indication to avoid sw ip checksum
on FCoE frames.

iwlegacy: do not nulify il->vif on reset

This il->vif is dereferenced in different part of iwlegacy code, so do
not nullify it. This should fix random crashes observed in companion
with microcode errors i.e. crash in il3945_config_ap().

Additionally this should address also
WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy/common.c:4656 il_mac_remove_interface
at least one of the possible reasons of that warning.

ath9k: fix max noise floor threshold

Currently the maximum noise floor limit is set as too high (-60dB). The
assumption of having a higher threshold limit is that it would help
de-sensitize the receiver (reduce phy errors) from continuous
interference. But when we have a bursty interference where there are
collisions and then free air time and if the receiver is desensitized too
much, it will miss the normal packets too. Lets make use of chips
specific min, nom and max limits always. This patch helps to improve the
connection stability in congested networks.

iwlegacy: fix BSSID setting

Current commit 0775f9f90cdaf40fbf69b3192b3dddb2b3436f45
"mac80211: remove spurious BSSID change flag" exposed bug on iwlegacy,
that we do not set BSSID address correctly and then device was not able
to receive frames after successful associate.

On the way fix scan canceling comment. Apparently ->post_associate()
do cancel scan itself, but scan cancel on BSS_CHANGED_BSSID is needed.
I'm not sure why, but when I removed it, I had frequent auth failures:

 wlan4: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 1/3)
 wlan4: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 2/3)

cfg80211: allow CFG80211_SIGNAL_TYPE_UNSPEC in station_info

The station_info struct had demanded dBm signal values, but the
cfg80211 wireless extensions implementation was also accepting
"unspecified" (i.e. RSSI) unit values while the nl80211 code was
completely unaware of them.  Resolve this by formally allowing the
"unspecified" units while making nl80211 ignore them.

ath9k: reduce listen time period

When we have downlink traffic alone and the station is going thru
bgscan, the client is out of operating channel for around 1000ms which
is too long. The mac80211 decides when to switch back to oper channel
based on tx queue, bad latency and listen time. As the station does not
have tx traffic, the bgscan can easily affect downlink throughput. By
reducing the listen time, it helps the associated AP to retain the
downstream rate.

We should schedule txdone work on timeout, otherwise if newer get
tx status from hardware, we will never report tx status to mac80211
and eventually never wakeup tx queue.

rtlwifi: rtl8192ce: rtl8192cu: rtl8192de: Fix low-gain setting when scanning

In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770207, slowdowns of driver
rtl8192ce are reported. One fix (commit a9b89e2) has already been applied,
and it helped, but the maximum RX speed would still drop to 1 Mbps. As in
the previous fix, the initial gain was determined to be the problem; however,
the problem arises from a setting of the gain when scans are started.

Driver rtl8192de also has the same code structure - this one is fixed as well.

e1000: fix vlan processing regression

This patch fixes a regression introduced by commit "e1000: do vlan
cleanup (799d531)".

Apparently some e1000 chips (not mine) are sensitive about the order of
setting vlan filter and vlan stripping/inserting functionality. So this
patch changes the order so it's the same as before vlan cleanup.
