wext: fix alignment problem in serializing 'struct iw_point'
This fixes a typo in the definition of the serialized length of struct iw_point:
a) wireless.h is exported to userspace, the typo causes IW_EV_POINT_PK_LEN
to be 12 on 64-bit, and 8 on 32-bit systems (causing misalignment);
b) in compat-64 mode iwe_stream_add_point() memcpys overlap (see below).
The second case in in compat-64 mode looks like (variable names are as in
include/net/iw_handler.h:iwe_stream_add_point()):
point_len = IW_EV_COMPAT_POINT_LEN = 8
lcp_len = IW_EV_COMPAT_LCP_LEN = 4
2nd memcpy: IW_EV_POINT_PK_LEN - IW_EV_LCP_PK_LEN = 12 - 4 = 8
IW_EV_LCP_PK_LEN
<--------------> *---> 'extra' data area
+-------+-------+-------+-------+---------------+------- ...-+
| len | cmd |length | flags | (empty) -> extra ... |
+-------+-------+-------+-------+---------------+------- ...-+
2 2 2 2 4
lcp_len
<--------------> <-!! OVERLAP !!>
<--1st memcpy--><------- 2nd memcpy ----------->
<---- 3rd memcpy ------- ... >
<--------- point_len ---------->
This case could cause overrun whenever iw_point.length < 4.
The other two cases are -
* 32-bit systems: IW_EV_POINT_PK_LEN - IW_EV_LCP_PK_LEN = 8 - 4 = 4,
the second memcpy copies exactly the 4 required bytes;
* 64-bit systems: IW_EV_POINT_PK_LEN - IW_EV_LCP_PK_LEN = 12 - 4 = 8,
the second memcpy copies a superfluous (but non overlapping) 4 bytes.
The patch changes IW_EV_POINT_PK_LEN to be 8, so that in all 3 cases always only
the requested iw_point.{length,flags} (both __u16) are copied, avoiding overrrun
(compat-64) and superfluous copy (64-bit). In addition, the userspace header is
sanitized (in agreement with version 30 of the wireless tools).

The watchdog function must run on a work_queue
which is independent of any other work inside rt2x00.
The main reasons, being that a broken work on the mac80211
work_queue can otherwise prevent the watchdog to run (while
in fact the watchdog could fix the issue). And on the other
hand because the watchdog relies on the completion of the
completion handlers for RX/TX which for the USB case, occur
on the mac80211 workqueue.
This fixes some "Queue %d failed to flush" errors, which were
caused by the watchdog function waiting on the completion
handler which was scheduled to run right after the watchdog.

A lot of functions accept a struct rt2x00_dev combined with
either a struct queue_entry or struct data_queue argument.
This can be simplified by only passing on the queue/entry
argument.
In cases where rt2x00_dev and a sk_buff are send together,
we can send the queue_entry instead.
rt2x00usb_alloc_urb and rt2x00usb_free_urb have a bit

This patch attempts to ensure that ath9k's built-in rate control algorithm

This patch fixes the following problems with the rate control feedback
generated by ath9k for A-MPDU frames:
1. Rate control feedback is carried on the first frame of an aggregate
that is either ACKed, or has execeeded the software retry count and is
considered failed. However, ath9k would incorrectly assume the aggregate
had the length 1 if one of these conditions did not apply to the first
frame of the aggregate, but instead a later frame. This fix therefor
copies the bf_nframes field of the buffer in the same manner as the rates
field of the tx status.
2. Sometimes the ampdu_len and ampdu_ack_len fields of the tx status was
left uninitialized eventhough the IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU flag was set.
This is now avoid by setting flag and fields in the same place.
3. Even if a frame has been selected for aggregation by mac80211 and
marked with the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU flag it can sometimes happen that
ath9k transmits the frame without aggregation. In these cases the
ampdu_ack_len field could be incorrectly computed because the nbad
parameter to ath_tx_rc_status was incorrect.

This patch fixes two problems with the minstrel_ht rate control
algorithms handling of A-MPDU frames:
1. The ampdu_len field of the tx status is not always initialized for
non-HT frames (and it would probably be unreasonable to require all
drivers to do so). This could cause rate control statistics to be
corrupted. We now trust the ampdu_len and ampdu_ack_len fields only when
the frame is marked with the IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU flag.
2. Successful transmission attempts where only recognized when the A-MPDU
subframe carrying the rate control status information was marked with the
IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK flag. If this information happed to be carried on a
frame that failed to be ACKed then the other subframes (which may have
succeeded) where not correctly registered. We now update rate control
statistics regardless of whether the subframe carrying the information was
ACKed or not.
