wireless: Do not allow disabled channel in scan request
cfg80211_conn_scan allows disabled channels at scan request.
Hence probe request was seen at the disabled one. This patch
ensures that disabled channel never be added into the scan
request's channel list.

iwlagn: do not use interruptible waits
Since the dawn of its time, iwlwifi has used
interruptible waits to wait for synchronous
commands and firmware loading.
This leads to "interesting" bugs, because it
can't actually handle the interruptions; for
example when a command sending is interrupted
it will assume the command completed fully,
and then leave it pending, which leads to all
kinds of trouble when the command finishes
later.
Since there's no easy way to gracefully deal
with interruptions, fix the driver to not use
interruptible waits.

If the driver is unloaded while there is still a host command in
flight, its tfd will be freed by iwl_tx_queue_free.
This function is called for both types of queues: Tx queues and cmd
queue. This didn't take in count the fact that in Tx queues, tfds are
mapped as TO_DEVICE (besides the first TB), whereas in cmd queue, all
TBs are mapped as BIDI.
Hence, tx_queue_free unmapped the second (and higher) TB of each tfd
in the cmd queue as TO_DEVICE, whereas they must be freed as BIDI.
This means that if a multi TFD is in flight while we unload the

rt2x00: Forbid aggregation for STAs not programmed into the hw
If a STA is not known by the hw (i.e. has no WCID assigned) don't allow
aggregation since this might mess up tx status reports and we won't be
able to distinguish the reports of multiple WCID-less STAs.

rt2x00: Make use of sta_add/remove callbacks in rt2800
This allows us to assign a WCID to each STA even for STAs without
crypto key.
To achieve this search for an unused WCID in the HW WCID table and
assign it to the according STA. When configuring a pairwise key for this
STA we don't need to write the MAC address and BSSIDX anymore but just
update the crypto related fields in the WCID_ATTR table.
This has two advantages:
1) Setting a new key for an already available STA (PTK rekeying) is
slightly less expensive and should improve performance in situations
where a lot of rekeying happens (e.g. a huge number of stations and/or
a small rekeying interval)
2) The TXWI now gets a WCID assigned for unencrypted frames which will
be reflected in the corresponding tx status report. This should make tx
status reports in unencrypted AP mode more reliable as we can
distinguish between multiple key-less STAs.

rt2x00: Add WCID to HT TX descriptor
When sending an unencrypted frame to a STA the driver might want to pass
a suitable WCID since we don't have a key index to allow tx status
reports to get properly assigned to the correct STA.

rt2x00: Add WCID to crypto struct
When a WCID was already assigned to a STA the key configuration
functions need to use the same WCID for configuring the keys. Hence, add
the WCID to the crypo configuration structure.

rt2x00: Introduce sta_add/remove callbacks
This implements a basic sta_add and sta_remove callback. Introduce a new
structure rt2x00_sta and ask mac80211 to allocate it as private part of
its ieee80211_sta. rt2x00_sta only contains the WCID for now.
The sta_add callback allows the driver to assign a WCID to a station
that is currently being added. The same wcid is also passed to the
sta_remove callback one mac80211 removes this STA.
