Calling sta_info_destroy() doesn't require RCU-synchronisation
before-hand because it does that internally. However, it does
require rtnl-locking so insert that where necessary.

ieee80211_sta_work is disabled while network interface
is down. Therefore, if you configure wireless parameters
before bringing the interface up, these configurations are
not yet effective and association fails.
A workaround from userspace is calling a command like
'iwconfig wlan0 ap any' after the interface is brought up.
To fix this behaviour, trigger execution of ieee80211_sta_work from
ieee80211_open when in STA or IBSS mode.

When you have an AP on channel 13, it will currently often enough
be listed in scan results even when the regulatory domain restricts
to channels 1-11. This is due to channel overlap. To avoid getting
very strange failures, don't show such APs in the scan results. The
failure mode will now go from "I can see the AP but not associate"
to "I can't see the AP although I know it's there" which is easier
to debug.

I noticed a bug I introduced when mesh is enabled: sta_info_destroy()
will end up calling cancel_timer() on a timer that has never been
initialized because the timer is only initialized in mesh_plink_alloc(),
not in sta_info_alloc(). This patch moves the initialization of all mesh
related fields into sta_info_alloc(), adds a bit of sanity checking to
the cfg80211 handlers and sta_info_insert() and makes mesh_plink_alloc()
a static helper function that is only used from the mesh plink code.

When we take down an interface, we need to remove the STA info
items that belong to it because otherwise we might invoke a
sta_notify() callback in the driver when we later delete the
STA entries, but in that case the driver will already have
removed its knowledge of the interface they belonged to leading
to confusion. Also, we could invoke the set_tim() callback after
the driver removed its knowledge of the interface, which can
lead to a crash if it requests a beacon with a then-invalid vif
pointer!
A side effect of this patch is that, because it was easier, it
disallows changing the WDS peer while an interface is up. Should
that actually be necessary, it can be added back, but the WDS
peer STA entry may not be added while the interface is UP so for
now I've simplified the WDS peer's STA entry lifetime management.

sta_info_add() has two functions: allocating a station info
structure and inserting it into the hash table/list. Splitting
these two functions allows allocating with GFP_KERNEL in many
places instead of GFP_ATOMIC which is now required by the RCU
protection. Additionally, in many places RCU protection is now
no longer needed at all because between sta_info_alloc() and
sta_info_insert() the caller owns the structure.
This fixes a few race conditions with setting initial flags
and similar, but not all (see comments in ieee80211_sta.c and
cfg.c). More documentation on the existing races will be in
a follow-up patch.

This makes access to the STA hash table/list use RCU to protect
against freeing of items. However, it's not a true RCU, the
copy step is missing: whenever somebody changes a STA item it
is simply updated. This is an existing race condition that is
now somewhat understandable.
This patch also fixes the race key freeing vs. STA destruction
by making sure that sta_info_destroy() is always called under
RTNL and frees the key.
