dupofdm-modulated frames when operating in HT40 mode.

mac80211: reduce the amount of unnecessary traffic on cooked monitor interfaces

In order to handle association and authentication in AP mode,
hostapd needs access to the tx status info of its own frames
through a cooked monitor interface. Without this patch the
cooked monitor interfaces also passed on tx status information
for packets from other virtual interfaces. This creates a
significant performance issue on embedded system. Hostapd
tries to work around this by installing a Linux Socket Filter
that only captures the frames it's interested in, however
data duplication and socket filter matching still uses up
enough CPU cycles to be very noticeable on small systems.
This patch ensures that tx status information of non-injected
frames does not make it to cooked monitor interfaces.

ath9k: Cleanup bss_info_changed callback

* Remove a code chunk dealing with operating mode changes.
  As noted, all such policy changes are to be done in
  add_interface.

* Remove pointless check for empty BSSID.
  Also, remove mode checks - mac80211 does all the needed checks.

* Handle enabling/disabling beacon transmission properly.

* Handle beacon interval changes for AP mode.
  The original code depended on config_interface() to update
  the HW TSF. Since that callback has been removed, handle
  it properly.

* Remove unneeded code dealing with key/privacy.

* Set the chainmasks to 1x1 for IBSS when the BSSID is set.
  This was happening uncondionally before.

ath9k: Remove a few unused functions

ATH9K_ANT_VARIABLE is the default diversity control used.
Consequently ath9k_hw_decrease_chain_power() does nothing.
ath9k_hw_setantennaswitch() is unused too.

Also, gbeacon_rate is unused.

mac80211: convert aggregation to operate on vifs/stas

The entire aggregation code currently operates on the
hw pointer and station addresses, but that needs to
change to make stations purely per-vif; As one step
preparing for that make the aggregation code callable
with the station, or by the combination of virtual
interface and station address.

mac80211: push michael MIC report after DA check

When we receive a michael MIC failure report from the
hardware we currently do not check whether it is actually
reported on a frame that is destined to us. It shouldn't
be possible to get a michael MIC failure report on other
frames, but it also doesn't hurt to verify.

Also, since we then don't need the station struct that
early, move looking it up a bit later in the RX path.

Finally, while at it, a few code cleanups in the area.

mac80211: cleanup reorder buffer handling

The reorder buffer handling is written in a quite
peculiar style (especially comments) and also has
a quirk where it invokes the entire reorder code
in ieee80211_sta_manage_reorder_buf() for just a
handful of lines in it with a special argument.

Split out ieee80211_release_reorder_frames which
can then be invoked from BAR handling and other
reordering code, clean up code and comments and
remove function arguments that are now unused from
ieee80211_sta_manage_reorder_buf().

mac80211: trim RX data

The RX data contains the netdev, which is
duplicated since we have the sdata, and the
RX status pointer, which is duplicate since
we have the skb. Remove those two fields to
have fewer fields that depend on each other
and simply load them as necessary.

mac80211: improve rate handling

Some code currently assumes that there's a valid
rate pointer even in the HT case, but there can't
be. To reduce reliance on that, remove the rate
pointer from the RX data struct and pass it where
it's needed.

Also, for now, in radiotap announce HT frames as
having a DYN channel type, and remove their rate
from cooked monitor radiotap completely (it isn't
present in the regular monitor radiotap either.)

mac80211: use fixed broadcast address

The netdev broadcast address cannot change from
all-ones so there's no need to use it; we can
instead hard-code it. Since we already have an
instance in tkip.c, which will be shared if it
is marked static const, doing this reduces text
size at no data/bss cost.

The real motivation for this is, of course, the
desire to get rid of almost all uses of netdevs
in mac80211 so that auditing their use becomes
easier.
