Subject: mac80211: don't re-init rate control when receiving mesh beacon

Rate control is re-initialized whenever a beacon from a mesh
peer received, breaking the algorithms and resulting in low
performance. Return early from mesh_peer_init if we already
established a link with this peer to avoid this.

Subject: mac80211: don't react to beacon loss if HW monitoring

If the HW is monitoring connection loss (as advertised
by IEEE80211_HW_CONNECTION_MONITOR) but not filtering
beacons (IEEE80211_VIF_BEACON_FILTER) then mac80211 will
still start the beacon loss timer and if a few beacons
are lost, e.g. due to scanning, drop the connection.

If the hardware doesn't advertise connection monitoring,
then it won't drop the connection right away but probe
the AP, which is intended, but due to the logic in the
timer when connection monitoring is done it assumes the
connection was actually lost.

Fix this problem by not starting the timer when the HW
does connection monitoring.

Subject: mac80211: don't call mgd_prepare_tx when associated

This doesn't make any sense since we are expected to be on
the medium or at least to Tx only when we are on the right
channel and the AP/GO can hear us.

Move the call to mgd_prepare_tx() for deauth to be only
done in case we're sending a deauth while not associated.

Subject: wlcore: don't get the hlid from a queued skb

There was a bug hiding here since the hlid was sometimes inferred from
the sta, which might be invalid at this point.

Instead, propagate the hlid from the skb-queue where we got the skb
in the first place.

Subject: mac80211: add PS flag to bss_conf

Currently, ps mode is indicated per device (rather than
per interface), which doesn't make a lot of sense.

Moreover, there are subtle bugs caused by the inability
to indicate ps change along with other changes
(e.g. when the AP deauth us, we'd like to indicate
CHANGED_PS | CHANGED_ASSOC, as changing PS before
notifying about disassociation will result in null-packets
being sent (if IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS) while
the sta is already disconnected.)

Keep the current per-device notifications, and add
parallel per-vif notifications.

In order to keep it simple, the per-device ps and
the per-vif ps are orthogonal - the per-vif ps
configuration is determined only by the user
configuration (enable/disable) and the connection
state, and is not affected by other vifs state and
(temporary) dynamic_ps/offchannel operations
(unlike per-device ps).

Subject: mac80211: move TX station pointer and restructure TX

Remove the control.sta pointer from ieee80211_tx_info to free up
sufficient space in the TX skb control buffer for the upcoming
Transmit Power Control (TPC).
Instead, the pointer is now on the stack in a new control struct
that is passed as a function parameter to the drivers' tx method.
