The error path in ieee80211_register_hw() may call the unregister_netdev()
and right after it - the free_netdev(), which is wrong, since the
unregister releases the device itself.
So the proposed fix is to NULL the local->mdev after unregister is done
and check this before calling free_netdev().
I checked - no code uses the local->mdev after unregister in this error
path (but even if some did this would be a BUG).

This reorders the open code so that WDS peer STA info entries
are added after the corresponding interface is added to the
driver so that driver callbacks aren't invoked out of order.
Also make any master device startup fatal.

Rather than just disallowing the zero address, disallow all
invalid ones.

Drivers can rightfully assume that they get a beacon_control
if the beacon is set.

When STAs are expired, we need to hold the sta_lock. Using
the same lock for keys too would then mean we'd need another
key free function, and that'll just lead to confusion, so just
use a new spinlock for all key lists.

This patch renames all mac80211 files (except ieee80211_i.h) to get rid
of the useless ieee80211_ prefix.
