b0302aba81 rtlwifi: Convert to asynchronous firmware load
This patch addresses a kernel bugzilla report and two recent mail threads.

The kernel bugzilla report is https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42632,
which reports a udev timeout on boot.

The first mail thread, which was on LKML (http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/
linux/kernel/1112.3/00965.html) was for a WARNING that occurs after a
suspend/resume cycle for rtl8192cu.

The scond mail thread (http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=132655490826766&w=2)
concerned changes in udev that break drivers that delay while firmware is loaded
on modprobe.

This patch converts all rtlwifi-based drivers to use the asynchronous firmware
loading mechanism. Drivers rtl8192ce, rtl8192cu and rtl8192de share a common
callback routine. Driver rtl8192se needs different handling of the firmware,
thus it has its own code.

d273bb20c0 rtlwifi: Move pr_fmt macros to a single location
Although the rtlwifi family of devices contains 11 copies of the pr_fmt
macro, the macro is not defined for all routines that need it. By moving
the macro to wifi.h, a single copy is available for all routines.

0521ecf335 rtlwifi: include mac80211.h from core.h
core.h references ieee80211_ops but doesn't include mac80211.h, which issues
a warning once mac80211-compat.h is taken into use.
