cfg80211: aggregate mgmt_tx parameters into a struct

mac80211_hwsim: Fix tracking of beaconing for multi-vif
mac80211_hwsim canceled beacon_timer on any vif changing from enabled
to disabled beaconing. This breaks cases where there are multiple
beaconing vifs and only one of them is removed. Fix this by tracking
beaconing status per vif and disable beacon_timer only if no active vif
remain with beaconing enabled.

mac80211: process mesh channel switching using beacon
Trigger the mesh channel switching procedure if the mesh STA
happens to miss the CSA action frame but able to receive the
beacon containing the CSA and MCSP elements from its peer
mesh STAs.

{nl,cfg,mac}80211: implement mesh channel switch userspace API
Implement the required procedures for mesh channel switching as defined
in the IEEE Std 802.11-2012 section 10.9.8.4.3 and also handle the CSA
and MCSP elements as followed:
* Add the function for updating the beacon and probe response frames
with CSA and MCSP elements during the period of switching to the new
channel. Both CSA and MCSP elements must be included in beacon and
probe response frames until the intended channel switch time.
* The ifmsh->csa_settings is set to NULL and the CSA and MCSP elements
will then be removed from the beacon or probe response frames once the
new channel is switched to.

Allow the triggering of CSA frame using mesh interface. The
rules are more or less same with IBSS, such as not allowed to
change between the band and channel width has to be same from
the previous mode. Also, move the ieee80211_send_action_csa
to a common space so that it can be re-used by mesh interface.

mac80211: process the CSA frame for mesh accordingly
Process the CSA frame according to the procedures define in IEEE Std
802.11-2012 section 10.9.8.4.3 as follow:
* The mesh channel switch parameters element (MCSP) must be availabe.
* If the MCSP's TTL is 1, drop the frame but still process the CSA.
* If the MCSP's precedence value is less than or equal to the current
precedence value, drop the frame and do not process the CSA.
* The CSA frame is forwarded after TTL is decremented by 1 and the
initiator field is set to 0. Transmit restrict field and others
are maintained as is.
* No beacon or probe response frame are handled here.
Also, introduce the debug message used for mesh CSA purpose.

mac80211: add ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() helper function
This can be used by a driver to prepare skbs for transmission, which were
obtained via functions such as ieee80211_probereq_get or
ieee80211_nullfunc_get.
This is useful for drivers that want to send those frames directly, but
need rate control information to be prepared first.
