The reason is a problem with asynchronous vs. synchronous
commands, what happens here is the following:
 * TE 0x2601 is removed, the TIME_EVENT_CMD for that is async
 * a new TE (will be 0x2701) is created, the TIME_EVENT_CMD
   for that is sync and also uses a notification wait for the
   response (to avoid another race condition)
 * the response for the TE 0x2601 removal comes from the
   firmware, and is handled by the notification wait handler
   that's really waiting for the second response, but can't
   tell the difference, we therefore see the message
   "TIME_EVENT_CMD response - UID = 0x2601" instead of
   "TIME_EVENT_CMD response - UID = 0x2701".

Fix this issue by making the TE removal synchronous as well,
this means that we wait for the response to that command
first, before there's any chance of sending a new one.

Also, to detect such issues more easily in the future, add
a warning to the notification handler that detects them.

mac80211: Fix tx queue handling during scans

Scans currently work by stopping the netdev tx queues but leaving the
mac80211 queues active. This stops the flow of incoming packets while
still allowing mac80211 to transmit nullfunc and probe request frames to
facilitate scanning. However, the driver may try to wake the mac80211
queues while in this state, which will also wake the netdev queues.

To prevent this, add a new queue stop reason,
IEEE80211_QUEUE_STOP_REASON_OFFCHANNEL, to be used when stopping the tx
queues for off-channel operation. This prevents the netdev queues from
waking when a driver wakes the mac80211 queues.

This also stops all frames from being transmitted, even those meant to
be sent off-channel. Add a new tx control flag,
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_OFFCHAN_TX_OK, which allows frames to be transmitted
when the queues are stopped only for the off-channel stop reason. Update
all locations transmitting off-channel frames to use this flag.
