iwlwifi: mvm: do string formatting in debug triggers
The current code has a lot of duplicates of printing into a buffer
(while having to make sure it's NUL-filled and -terminated) and
then passing that to the debug trigger collection.
Since that's error-prone, instead make the debug trigger collection
function take a format string and format arguments (with compiler
validity checking) and handle the buffer internally.
This makes one behavioural change -- instead of sending the whole
buffer to userspace (clearing is needed to not leak stack data) it
just passes the actual string (including NUL-terminator.)

iwlwifi: mvm: Fix wrongfully flushing frames in the roc/off channel queue
Sending multiple action frames off channel, one after the other can create
a race that will result in a timeout:
1. Start sending action frame off channel.
2. Once the frame is sent or the time event is over, the flow will
eventually call ieee80211_start_next_roc to start the next roc frame &
iwl_mvm_roc_finished schedules to schedule a work to flush the queue.
3. Start sending new roc frame and write it to the queue before the

4. The work is called and it flushes the new packet that was placed on the
on the queue so the packet is lost.
This causes the frame to be removed & not sent, that causes a timeout in
userspace.
Flush the work queue that flushes the roc/off channel queue before starting
to send a new frame off channel, in order to avoid a race between the new
frame that is transmitted off channel & the flushing of the queue.

There are transport that must buffer frames in the driver.
This means that we have frames that are not in the op_mode
and not visible to the firwmare. This causes issues when we
flush the queues: the op_mode flushes a queue, and the
firmware flushes all the frames that are *currently* on the
rings, but if the transport buffers frames, it can submit
these while we are flushing. This leads to a situation
where we still have frames on the queues after we flushed
them.
Preventing those buffered frame from getting into the
firmware is possible, but then, we have to run the Tx
response path on frames that didn't reach the firmware
which is not desirable.
The way I solve this here is to let these frames go to the
firmware, but make sure the firmware will not transmit them
(by setting the station as draining). The op_mode then needs
to wait until the transport itself is empty to be sure that
the queue is really empty.

all. Take this into account when monitoring stuck queues
and don't account for the time the station was asleep.
This allows to mask false positives where the queues are
stuck not because of a bug, but because of the station
being asleep.
iwlwifi: pcie: allow the op_mode to freeze the stuck queue timer
This allows the op_mode to let the transport know that a
queue is currently frozen and that its timer should be
stopped.
When the queue is unfrozen, its timer should be set to
expire after the remainder of the timeout has elapsed.
This can be used when stations go to sleep. When a station
goes to sleep, the op_mode can freeze the timer so that the
queue will never be considered as stuck. When the station
wakes up, the queue will be unfrozen.
This is meant to avoid false positives that would happen if
a buggy station goes to sleep for a very long time. In case
we have a dedicated queue for this station (BA agreement)
and it goes to sleep for a very long time, the queue would
rightfully be stopped during all that time. In this case,
the stuck queue timer could fire and that would be a false
positive.

iwlwifi: mvm: don't init MCC during CT-kill
RTNL is not taken during CT-kill so regulatory APIs cannot be invoked.
That's fine, since the HW is only brought up to check the temperature
during CT-kill. We don't expect Tx or scanning.

iwlwifi: trans: Take ownership on secure machine before FW load
When we load the firmware for the 8000 B step device, it'll
verify its signature. In the current version of the
hardware, there can be a race between the WiFi firmware
being loaded and the Bluetooth firmware being loaded.
Check that WiFi is authenticated, if not, take ownership
on the authentication machine to make sure that the WiFi
firmware will be authenticated.

iwlwifi: mvm: reflect TDLS pm state in mvmvif->pm_enabled
When entering D0i3, the MVM mutex cannot be grabbed. This interferes
with the calculation of the number of connected TDLS stations during
the setup of the power cmd.
The goal is to disable power saving for all vifs while any TDLS station
is connected. For this purpose it is enough to keep the pm_enabled
member of all mvmvifs as false. An update of the power state already
occurs when a TDLS station is added/removed, so the values are correctly
updated.
We don't need to acquire MAC access for each access, it
makes much more sense to keep the MAC access. This speeds
up the Tx DMA stop flow significantly.
Moreover, if one channel can't be stopped, stop the others
but don't poll for them to avoid being stuck there for a
long time.
This solves a situation in which we were stuck in that flow
for way too long with a spinlock held which led to a kernel
panic.
