This adds dump support to testmode. The testmode
dump support in nl80211 requires using two of the
six cb->args, the rest can be used by the driver
to figure out where the dump position is at or to
store other data across invocations.

Earlier beacon_interval is used to hold interval value and
some flags (ATH9K_BEACON_ENA &ATH9K_BEACON_PERIOD). So to
extract interval ATH9K_BEACON_PERIOD is used. Those flags
were completely removed. So masking beacon_interval is
not required.

EDMA based chips (AR9380+) have 8 Tx FIFO slots, which are used to fix the
tx queue start/stop race conditions which have to be worked around for
earlier chips by keeping the last descriptor in the queue. The current code
stores all frames that do not fit onto the 8 FIFO slots in a separate
list. Whenever a FIFO slot is freed up, the next frame (or A-MPDU) from the
pending queue gets moved to that slot.

This process is not only inefficient, but also unnecessary. The code can
be improved visibly by keeping the pending queue fully linked, and moving
the contents of the entire queue to a FIFO slot as it becomes available.

This patch makes the necessary changes for that and also merges some code
that was duplicated for EDMA vs non-EDMA. It changes txq->axq_link to point
to the last descriptor instead of the link pointer, so that
ath9k_hw_set_desc_link can be used, which works on all chips.

With this patch, a small performance increase for non-aggregated traffic
was observed on AR9380 based embedded hardware.

This patch adds to mac80211_hwsim the capability to send traffic via
userspace.

Frame exchange between kernel and user spaces is done through generic
netlink communication protocol. A new generic netlink family
MAC80211_HWSIM is proposed, this family contains three basic commands
HWSIM_CMD_REGISTER, which is the command used to register a new
traffic listener, HWSIM_CMD_FRAME, to exchange the frames from kernel
to user and vice-versa, and HWSIM_CMD_TX_INFO_FRAME which returns
from user all the information about retransmissions, rates, rx signal,
and so on.

How it works:

Once the driver is loaded the MAC80211_HWSIM family will be registered.
In the absence of userspace daemon, the driver itselfs implements a
perfect wireless medium as it did in the past. When a daemon sends a
HWSIM_CMD_REGISTER command, the module stores the application PID, and
from this moment all frames will be sent to the registered daemon.

The user space application will be in charge of process/forward all
frames broadcast by any mac80211_hwsim radio. If the user application
is stopped, the kernel module will detect the release of the socket
and it will switch back to in-kernel perfect channel simulation.

The userspace daemon must be waiting for incoming HWSIM_CMD_FRAME
commands sent from kernel, for each HWSIM_CMD_FRAME command the
application will try to broadcast this frame to all mac80211_hwsim
radios, however the application may decide to forward/drop this frame.
In the case of forwarding the frame, a new HWSIM_CMD_FRAME command will
be created, all necessary attributes will be populated and the frame
will be sent back to the kernel.

Also after the frame broadcast phase, a HWSIM_CMD_TX_INFO_FRAME
command will be sent from userspace to kernel, this command contains
all the information regarding the transmission, such as number of
tries, rates, ack signal, etc.

Several crashes in cleanup_once() were reported in recent kernels.

Commit d6cc1d64 (inetpeer: various changes) added a race in
unlink_from_unused().

One way to avoid taking unused_peers.lock before doing the list_empty()
test is to catch 0->1 refcnt transitions, using full barrier atomic
operations variants (atomic_cmpxchg() and atomic_inc_return()) instead
of previous atomic_inc() and atomic_add_unless() variants.

We then call unlink_from_unused() only for the owner of the 0->1
transition.

Add a new atomic_add_unless_return() static helper

With help from Arun Sharma.
