Instead of releasing and taking back the lock over and over again in the
tx path, hold the lock a bit longer, requiring much fewer lock/unlock pairs.
This makes locking much easier to review and should not have any noticeable

Currently, each AP interface will send multicast
traffic if any interface has a station entry even
if that station entry is allocated only. With the
new station state management we can easily fix it
by adding a counter that counts each authorized
station only and send multicast traffic only when
the correct interface has at least one authorized
station.

Station entries can have various states, the most
important ones being auth, assoc and authorized.
This patch prepares us for telling the driver about
these states, we don't want to confuse drivers with
strange transitions, so with this we enforce that
they move in the right order between them (back and
forth); some transitions might happen before the
driver even knows about the station, but at least
runtime transitions will be ordered correctly.
As a consequence, IBSS and MESH stations will now
have the ASSOC flag set (so they can transition to
AUTHORIZED), and we can get rid of a special case
in TX processing.
When freeing a station, unwind the state so that
other parts of the code (or drivers later) can rely
on the transitions.

cfg_workqueue was added to notify cfg80211 that scan, connect

We can avoid use of this workqueue by calling those handlers

1) Call connect, disconnect completion handlers in their callback
functions.
ex. Call cfg80211_connect_result() in mwifiex_cfg80211_connect()
2) Call scan completion handler after parsing response of last scan
command in a queue.

This patch enables support for doing P2P management operations like device
discovery on top of a station interface. After group formation, the station
interface will become a P2P GO/client interface as the case may be.
This feature requires modifications to a couple of existing WMI structures and
therefore new command ids and structures have been defined in order to be
compatible with older firmware versions and other chips. The exception here is
the wmi_connect_cmd. Adding a new field to the end of the structure will not
cause any issues with previous firmware versions since firmware only checks for
minimum length of the command. The other structures are of variable length,
hence it was not possible to add new fields to the end.
The new command ids have to be added to the end of enum wmi_cmd_id, so it has
updated to match the firmware.
The driver will support both the 'old' and the 'new' commands for a while by
checking the firmware capabilities.
