This patch revamps the virtual interface handling and makes the
code much easier to follow. Fewer functions, better names, less
spaghetti code.

Currently, almost every interface type has a 'bss' pointer
pointing to BSS information. This BSS information, however,
is for a _local_ BSS, not for the BSS we joined, so having
it on a STA mode interface makes little sense, but now they
have it pointing to the master device, which is an AP mode
virtual interface. However, except for some bitrate control
data, this pointer is only used in AP/VLAN modes (for power
saving stations.)
Overall, it is not necessary to even have the master netdev
be a valid virtual interface, and it doesn't have to be on
the list of interfaces either.
This patch changes the master netdev to be special, it now
- no longer is on the list of virtual interfaces, which
lets me remove a lot of tests for that
- no longer has sub_if_data attached, since that isn't used
Additionally, this patch changes some vlan/ap mode handling
that is related to these 'bss' pointers described above (but
in the VLAN case they actually make sense because there they
point to the AP they belong to); it also adds some debugging
code to IEEE80211_DEV_TO_SUB_IF to validate it is not called
on the master netdev any more.

Only plain netif_schedule() remains taking a net_device, mostly as a
compatability item while we transition the rest of these interfaces.
Everything else calls netif_schedule_queue() or __netif_schedule(),
both of which take a netdev_queue pointer.

The lock is now an attribute of the device queue.
One thing to notice is that "suspicious" places
emerge which will need specific training about
multiple queue handling. They are so marked with
explicit "netdev->rx_queue" and "netdev->tx_queue"
references.

It can be obtained via the netdev_queue. So create a helper routine,

A netdev_queue is an entity managed by a qdisc.
Currently there is one RX and one TX queue, and a netdev_queue merely
contains a backpointer to the net_device.
The Qdisc struct is augmented with a netdev_queue pointer as well.
Eventually the 'dev' Qdisc member will go away and we will have the
resulting hierarchy:
net_device --> netdev_queue --> Qdisc
Also, qdisc_alloc() and qdisc_create_dflt() now take a netdev_queue
pointer argument.

Currently the ieee80211_hw->workqueue is flushed each time
an interface is being removed. However most scheduled work
is not interface specific but device specific, for example things like
periodic work for link tuners.
This patch will move the flush_workqueue() call to directly behind
the call to ops->stop() to make sure the workqueue is only flushed
when all interfaces are gone and there really shouldn't be any scheduled
work in the drivers left.

This patch reworks the mac80211 debug settings making them more focused
and adding help text for those that didn't have one. It also removes a
number of printks that can be triggered remotely and add no value, e.g.
"too short deauthentication frame received - ignoring".
If somebody really needs to debug that they should just add a monitor
interface and look at the frames in wireshark.

The old infrastructure was:
- the default algorithm is built into mac80211
- other algorithms get into their own modules
The implementation of this complicated scheme was horrible
(just look at net/mac80211/Makefile), and anyone adding a new
algorithm would most likely not get it right at his first attempt.
This patch therefore builds all enabled algorithms into the mac80211
module.
The user interface for the rate control algorithms changes as follows:
- first the user can choose which algorithms to enable (currently only
MAC80211_RC_PID is available)
- if more than one algorithm is enabled (currently not possible since
only one algorithm is present) the user then chooses the default one
Note:
- MAC80211_RC_PID is always enables for CONFIG_EMBEDDED=n
Technical changes:
- all selected algorithms get into the mac80211 module
- net/mac80211/Makefile can now become much less complicated
- support for rc80211_pid_algo.c being modular is no longer required
- this includes unexporting mesh_plink_broken
