The put routine first decrements the users counter and then
(if it is zero) locks the sta_bss_lock and removes one from
the list and the hash.
Thus, any of ieee80211_sta_config_auth, ieee80211_rx_bss_get
or ieee80211_rx_mesh_bss_get can race with it by finding a
bss that is about to get kfree-ed.
Using atomic_dec_and_lock in ieee80211_rx_bss_put takes care
of this race.

There are two structures named wmm_info and wmm_param, they are used while
parsing the beacon frame. (Check the function ieee802_11_parse_elems).
Certain APs like D-link does not set the fifth bit in WMM IE.
While sending the association request to n-only ap it checks for wmm_ie.
If it is set then only ieee80211_ht_cap is sent during association request.
So n-only association fails.
And this patch fixes this problem by copying the wmm_info to wmm_ie,
which enables the "wmm" flag in iee80211_send_assoc.

This patch reworks the scanning code (ieee80211_rx_bss_info) to take
more parameters from beacons and keep a BSS info structure alive when
only beacons for it are received. This fixes a problem with iwlwifi
drivers (where we don't understand the root cause of the problem yet)
and another driver for some broken hardware (which cannot send probe
requests unless associated, so can't always actively scan.)

There is no need to send BSS changes to driver from beacons processed
during scanning. We are more interested in beacons from an AP with which
we are associated - these will still be used to send updates to driver as
the beacons are received without scanning.
This change·removes the requirement that bss_info_changed needs to be atomic.
The beacons received during scanning are processed from a tasklet, but if we
do not call bss_info_changed for these beacons there is no need for it to be
atomic. This function (bss_info_changed) is called either from workqueue or
ioctl in all other instances.

This one got renamed, complicating the merge a bit...this should restore
it to its intended state.

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