    mac80211: generalise work handling · af6b6374
    Johannes Berg authored
    In order to use auth/assoc for different purposes
    other than MLME, it needs to be split up. For other
    purposes, a generic work handling (potentially on
    another channel) will be useful.
    
    To achieve that, this patch moves much of the MLME
    work handling out of mlme into a new work API. The
    API can currently handle probing a specific AP,
    authentication and association. The MLME previously
    handled probe/authentication as one step and will
    continue to do so, but they are separate in the new
    work handling.
    
    Work items are RCU-managed to be able to check for
    existence of an item for a specific frame in the RX
    path, but they can be re-used which the MLME right
    now will do for its combined probe/auth step.
