cfg80211: introduce critical protocol indication from user-space
Some protocols need a more reliable connection to complete
successful in reasonable time. This patch adds a user-space
API to indicate the wireless driver that a critical protocol
is about to commence and when it is done, using nl80211 primitives
NL80211_CMD_CRIT_PROTOCOL_START and NL80211_CRIT_PROTOCOL_STOP.
There can be only on critical protocol session started per
registered cfg80211 device.
The driver can support this by implementing the cfg80211 callbacks
.crit_proto_start() and .crit_proto_stop(). Examples of protocols
that can benefit from this are DHCP, EAPOL, APIPA. Exactly how the
link can/should be made more reliable is up to the driver. Things
to consider are avoid scanning, no multi-channel operations, and
alter coexistence schemes.

mac80211: fix station entry leak/warning while suspending
Since Stanislaw's patches, when suspending while connected,
cfg80211 will disconnect. This causes the AP station to be
removed, which uses call_rcu() to clean up. Due to needing
process context, this queues a work struct on the mac80211
workqueue. This will warn and fail when already suspended,
which can happen if the rcu call doesn't happen quickly.
To fix this, replace the synchronize_net() which is really
just synchronize_rcu_expedited() with rcu_barrier(), which
unlike synchronize_rcu() waits until RCU callback have run
and thus avoids this issue.
In theory, this can even happen without Stanislaw's change
to disconnect on suspend since userspace might disconnect
just before suspending, though then it's unlikely that the
call_rcu() will be delayed long enough.

ieee80211_connection_loss() to be called by driver. However,
some devices implement connection monitor offload excluding
active AP probing.

When a full scan 2.4 and 5 GHz scan is scheduled, but then the 2.4 GHz
part of the scan disables a 5.2 GHz channel due to, e.g. receiving
country or frequency information, that 5.2 GHz channel might already
be in the list of channels to scan next. Then, when the driver checks
if it should do a passive scan, that will return false and attempt an
active scan. This is not only wrong but can also lead to the iwlwifi
device firmware crashing since it checks regulatory as well.
Fix this by not setting the channel flags to just disabled but rather
OR'ing in the disabled flag. That way, even if the race happens, the
channel will be scanned passively which is still (mostly) correct.

The renamed functions are used by several modules,
and updating the names in all of them would result
in a big patch. In order to keep the patch simple,

mwifiex: hold proper locks when accessing ra_list / bss_prio lists
Not locking ra_list when dequeuing packets creates race conditions.
When adding a packet 'tx_pkts_queued' is modified before setting
highest_priority_queue. If in-between the main loop starts, it will
see a packet queued (tx_pkts_queued > 0) but will not find it, since
max prio is not set yet. Depending on the scheduling, the thread
trying to add the packet could complete and restore the situation.
But this is not something to rely on.
Another race condition exists, if a new packet, exceeding current
max prio is added. If concurrently a packet is dequeued, the newly
set max prio will be overwritten with the value of the dequeued
packet. This can occur, because selecting a packet and modifying
the max prio is not atomic. The result in an infinite loop unless,
a new packet is added that has at least the priority of the hidden
packet.
Same applies to bss_prio_tbl. Forward iteration is no proper
lock-free technique and provides no protection from calls to
list_del. Although BSS are currently not added/removed dynamically,
this must not be the case in the future. Hence always hold proper
locks when accessing those lists.

mwifiex: fix infinite loop by removing NO_PKT_PRIO_TID
Using NO_PKT_PRIO_TID and tx_pkts_queued to check for an empty
state, can lead to a contradictory state, resulting in an
infinite loop. Currently queueing and dequeuing of packets is
not synchronized, and can happen concurrently. While tx_pkts_queued
is incremented when adding a packet, max prio is set to NO_PKT when
the WMM list is empty. If a packet is added right after the check
for empty, but before setting max prio to NO_PKT, that packet is
trapped and creates an infinite loop.
Because of the new packet, tx_pkts_queued is at least 1, indicating
wmm lists are not empty. Opposing that max prio is NO_PKT, which
means "skip this wmm queue, it has no packets". The infinite loop
results, because the main loop checks the wmm lists for not empty
via tx_pkts_queued, but for dequeing it uses max_prio to see if it
can skip current list. This will never end, unless a new packet is
added which will restore max prio to the level of the trapped packet.
The solution here is to rely on tx_pkts_queued solely for checking
wmm queue to be empty, and drop the NO_PKT define. It does not
address the locking issue.
