There's really no reason for mac80211 to be using its
own interface type defines. Use the nl80211 types and
simplify the configuration code a bit: there's no need
to translate them any more now.

Most of the scan functions are called ieee80211_sta_scan_*
or similar, make clean it up so they are all just called
ieee80211_scan_*.

When we remove an interface, we can currently end up having
a pointer to it left in local->scan_sdata after it has been
set down, and then with a hardware scan the scan completion
can try to access it which is a bug. Alternatively, a scan
that started as a hardware scan may terminate as though it
was a software scan, if the timing is just right.
On SMP systems, software scan also has a similar problem,
just canceling the delayed work and setting a flag isn't
enough since it may be running concurrently; in this case
we would also never restore state of other interfaces.
This patch hopefully fixes the problems by always invoking
ieee80211_scan_completed or requiring it to be invoked by
the driver, I suspect the drivers that have ->hw_scan() are
buggy. The bug will not manifest itself unless you remove
the interface while hw-scanning which will also turn off
the hw, and then add a new interface which will be unusable
until you scan once.

This patch splits off mesh handling from the STA/IBSS.
Unfortunately it increases mesh code size a bit, but I
think it makes things clearer. The patch also reduces
per-interface run-time memory usage.
Also clean up a few places where ifdef is not required.

This I shouldn't have moved to the scan implementation, move
it back to the MLME where it belongs, to the notification.

The ieee80211_sta_tx function isn't MLME code any more,
it's getting used by a lot of code. Move it to utils and
rename it to ieee80211_tx_skb.

When a scan is requested for non-STA interfaces, we simply fire
off a scan, but for STA interfaces we shouldn't because they
could be in the middle of an association. This clarifies the
corresponding code.

This moves all the BSS list handling out of mlme.c to scan.c,
no further changes except fixing kzalloc/atomic_inc/atomic_inc
to kzalloc/atomic_set(2).

This patch refactors some code and moves the scan RX function
to scan.c. More importantly, however, it changes it so that the
MLME's beacon/probe_resp functions aren't invoked when scanning
so that we can remove a "if (scanning)" conditions from two
places.
There's a very slight behavioural change in this patch: now,
when scanning, IBSS and mesh aren't updated even on the same
channel.

Here's a first patch to move some code from mlme.c to a
new file called scan.c. The end result will hopefully be
a more manageable mlme.c.
