mac80211 currently only supports one hardware queue

the frame will never go out. This will become worse
when we support multi-channel since then a queue on
one channel might be full, but we have to stop the
software queue for all channels. That is obviously
not desirable.
To address this problem allow drivers to register
more hardware queues, and allow them to map them to
virtual interfaces. When they stop a hardware queue
the corresponding AC software queues on the correct
interfaces will be stopped as well. Additionally,
there's an off-channel queue to solve that problem

This patch adds MBSS extensible synchronization framework (Sec.
13.13.2 of IEEE Std. 802.11-2012).
The framework is implemented via an ops table which defines the
following functions:
rx_bcn_presp() - this is called every time a mesh beacon is
received.
adjust_tbtt() - this is called immediately before a beacon is about
to be transmitted.
The default neighbor offset synchronization defined in the standard is
implemented. We also provide template functions for vendor specific
methods.
When neighbor offset synchronization is active (which is the default)
mesh neighbors in the same MBSS will track timing offsets to each other
and compensate clock drift.
In our tests we observed that this mesh synchronization implementation
successfully corrected drifts between stations of ~2PPM while
introducing a jitter of ~20us.
It is also possible to test this framework on mac80211_hwsim simulated
phys to see how it behaves under different topologies, over poor links,
etc.

mac80211: Allow tsf increments via debugfs
Reading and writing back the tsf value via tsf is too slow if one wants
to make small increments to this timer. With this change you can use
the syntax "+=<some value>" or "-=<some value>" to add or substract a
value from the tsf counter.

mac80211_hwsim: Fill timestamp beacon at the time it is transmitted
Generate more acurate tsf values in hwsim by setting the tsf value on
trasmitted beacons immediately before they are moved to the rx path.
Also, adjust the beacon timestamp to be the time at which the first byte
of the timestamp is transmitted.
With these changes the observed tsf offset between two hwsim/mesh peers
is 0 (unless the offset is modified via debugfs)

While associated we should never have empty SSID, but life can be full
of surprises, and is allways better to print a warning than crash.
Before memcpy() in ieee80211_probereq_get() check ssid_len instead of
ssid pointer, sice pointer it always passed by "ssidie + 2" expression
to send probe functions, so practically never can be NULL.
