When we stop an interface, the work on it may still be pending
or running. We do cancel the timer, but we do not currently
protect against the work struct. The race is very unlikely to
hit -- it'll happen only when the driver is using mac80211's
workqueue to run long-running tasks and the sta/mesh works are
delayed for quite a bit.
This patch fixes it by cancelling the work explicitly.

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.

In the function mesh_table_grow, it is the new table not the argument table
that should be freed if the function fails (cf commit

This patch replaces net_device arguments to mac80211 internal functions
with ieee80211_{local,sub_if_data} as appropriate.
It also does the same for many 802.11s mesh functions, and changes the
mesh path table to be indexed on sub_if_data rather than net_device.
If the mesh part needs to be a separate patch let me know, but since
mesh uses a lot of mac80211 functions which were being converted anyway,
the changes go hand-in-hand somewhat.
This patch probably does not convert all the functions which could be
converted, but it is a large chunk and followup patches will be
provided.

The mesh_path_node_copy() performs kmalloc() and thus - may fail
(well, it does not now, but I'm fixing this right now). Its caller -
the mesh_table_grow() - isn't prepared for such a trick yet.
This preparation is just flush the new hash and make copy_node()
return an int value.

This reverts commit 6c4711b469.
That patch breaks mesh config comparison between beacons/probe reponses, so
every beacon from a mesh network would be added as a new bss. Since the
comparison has to be performed for every received beacon I believe it is best to
save the mesh config in a format easy to compare, rather than do a bunch of
unaligned accesses to compare field by field.

This makes access to the STA hash table/list use RCU to protect
against freeing of items. However, it's not a true RCU, the
copy step is missing: whenever somebody changes a STA item it
is simply updated. This is an existing race condition that is
now somewhat understandable.
This patch also fixes the race key freeing vs. STA destruction
by making sure that sta_info_destroy() is always called under
RTNL and frees the key.

The two important features coded in mesh.c are:
Recently Multicast Cache: in on-demand HWMP, multicast traffic is retransmitted
by every receiving node. Even though a mesh TTL counter avoids infinite loops,
it is also necessary to avoid traffic explosion by keeping a cache of multicast
mesh frame that have been received recently. With this feature, maximum number
of retransmissions of a multicast frame for the case of N nodes within the range
of each other would be N. Without it, the maximum number of retransmissions
would be in the order of N^(MESH_TTL - 1).
Code to support mesh tables.
