to this private area, we use fw_id_to_mac_id that maps
sta_id (index of the STA in fw table) to ieee80211_sta.
When the STA exists in fw, but not in mac80211, we set
an ERR ptr in fw_id_to_mac_id.
But if we first set an ERR ptr to fw_id_to_mac_id, and only
then flush the queues, then we won't be able to access the
sequence numbers in ieee80211_sta from the reclaim flow.
This means that we will never be able to release an AGG
queue when a station is deleted.
So first, flush the queue. That will let the reclaim flow
call iwl_mvm_check_ratid_empty which will disable the AGG
queue as needed, and only then, remove the mapping in
fw_id_to_mac_id.

Its statistics are never updated but considered to setup the mrr chain.
In our tests we see that especially the 3rd mrr stage (which is that
rate providing highest success probability) is filled with the lowest rate
because its initial high sucess probability is never updated. By design
the 4th mrr stage is filled with the lowest rate so often 3rd and 4th
mrr stage are equal.
This patch follows minstrels general approach of assuming as little
as possible about rate dependencies. Consequently we include the
lowest rate into the random sampling table to get balanced up-to-date
statistics of all rates and therefore balanced decisions.

mac80211: extend minstrel's rate sampling to avoid unsampled rates
Minstrel's decision which rate should be directly sampled within the
1st mrr stage is limited to such rates faster than the current max
throughput rate. All rates below the current max. throughput rate
are indirectly sampled via the 2nd mrr stage.
This approach leads to deprecated per rate statistics and therfore
a deprecated mrr chain setup.
This patch uses the sampling approach from minstrel_ht. A counter is
added to sum all indirect sample attempts per rate. After 20 indirect
sampling attempts the rate is directly sampled within the 1st mrr stage.
Therefore more up-to-date statistics for all rates are maintained and
used to setup the mrr chain.

The last minstrel_ht changes increased the sampling frequency for
potentially useful rates to decrease the response time to rate
fluctuations. This caused an increase in sampling frequency that can
slightly reduce throughput, so this patch limits the sampling attempts
to one per rate instead of two.

regulatory: allow VHT channels in world roaming
For VHT, the wider bandwidths (up to 160 MHz) need
to be allowed. Since world roaming only covers the
case of connecting to an AP, it can be opened up
there, we will rely on the AP to know the local
regulations.

mac80211: restrict peer's VHT capabilities to own
Implement restricting peer VHT capabilities to the device's own
capabilities. This is useful when a single driver supports more
than one device and the devices have different capabilities
(often they will differ in the number of spatial streams), but
in particular is also necessary for VHT capability overrides to
work correctly -- otherwise it'd be possible to e.g. advertise,
due to overrides, that TX-STBC is not supported, but then still
use it to TX to the AP because it supports RX-STBC.

mac80211: fix HT capability overrides for AP station
HT capabilites are asymmetric -- e.g. beamforming is both an
RX and TX capability. If, for example, we support RX but not
TX, the RX capability of the AP station is masked out (if it
supports it). This works correctly if it's really the driver
capability.
If, on the other hand, the reason for not supporting TX BF
is that it was removed by HT capability overrides then the
wrong thing happens: the AP's TX capability will be removed
rather than its RX capability, because the override function
works on own capabilities, not remote ones, and doesn't take
the asymmetry into account.
To fix this make a copy of our own capabilities, apply the
overrides to them (where needed) and then use that to set up
the peer's capabilities.
