mac80211: use ps-poll when dynamic power save mode is disabled
When a directed tim bit is set, mac80211 currently disables power save
ands sends a null frame to the AP. But if dynamic power save is
disabled, mac80211 will not enable power save ever gain. Fix this by
adding ps-poll functionality to mac80211. When a directed tim bit is
set, mac80211 sends a ps-poll frame to the AP and checks for the more
data bit in the returned data frames.
Using ps-poll is slower than waking up with null frame, but it's saves more
power in cases where the traffic is low. Userspace can control if either
ps-poll or null wakeup method is used by enabling and disabling dynamic
power save.

mac80211: remove multicast check from check_tim()
Currently mac80211 checks for the multicast tim bit from beacons,
disables power save and sends a null frame if the bit is set. This was
added to support ath9k. But this is a bit controversial because the AP will
send multicast frames immediately after the beacon and the time constraints
are really high. Relying mac80211 to be fast enough here might not be
reliable in all situations. And there's no need to send a null frame, AP
will send the frames immediately after the dtim beacon no matter what.
Also if dynamic power save is disabled (iwconfig wlan0 power timeout 0)
currently mac80211 disables power save whenever the multicast bit is set
but it's never enabled again after receiving the first multicast/broadcast
frame.
The current implementation is not usable on p54/stlc45xx and the
easiest way to fix this is to remove the multicast tim bit check
altogether. Handling multicast tim bit in host is rare, most of the
designs do this in firmware/hardware, so it's better not to have it in
mac80211. It's a lot better to do this in firmware/hardware, or if
that's not possible it could be done in the driver.
Also renamed the function to ieee80211_check_tim() to follow the style
of the file.

mac80211: do not TX injected frames when not allowed
Monitor mode is able to TX by using injected frames. We should
not allow injected frames to be sent unless allowed by regulatory
rules. Since AP mode uses a monitor interfaces to transmit
management frames we have to take care to not break AP mode as
well while resolving this. We can deal with this by allowing compliant
APs solutions to inform mac80211 if their monitor interface is
intended to be used for an AP by setting a cfg80211 flag for the
monitor interface. hostapd, for example, currently does its own
checks to ensure AP mode is not used on channels which require radar
detection. Once such solutions are available it can can add this
flag for monitor interfaces.
