wifi: wil6210: Do not use embedded netdev in wil6210_priv

Embedding net_device into structures prohibits the usage of flexible
arrays in the net_device structure. For more details, see the discussion
at [1].

Un-embed the net_device from struct wil6210_priv by converting it
into a pointer. Then use the leverage alloc_netdev_dummy() to allocate
the net_device object at wil_if_add(). The free of the device
occurs at wil_if_remove().

cfg80211: avoid holding the RTNL when calling the driver

Currently, _everything_ in cfg80211 holds the RTNL, and if you
have a slow USB device (or a few) you can get some bad lock
contention on that.

Fix that by re-adding a mutex to each wiphy/rdev as we had at
some point, so we have locking for the wireless_dev lists and
all the other things in there, and also so that drivers still
don't have to worry too much about it (they still won't get
parallel calls for a single device).

Then, we can restrict the RTNL to a few cases where we add or
remove interfaces and really need the added protection. Some
of the global list management still also uses the RTNL, since
we need to have it anyway for netdev management, but we only
hold the RTNL for very short periods of time here.

cfg80211: change netdev registration/unregistration semantics

We used to not require anything in terms of registering netdevs
with cfg80211, using a netdev notifier instead. However, in the
next patch reducing RTNL locking, this causes big problems, and
the simplest way is to just require drivers to do things better.

Change the registration/unregistration semantics to require the
drivers to call cfg80211_(un)register_netdevice() when this is
happening due to a cfg80211 request, i.e. add_virtual_intf() or
del_virtual_intf() (or if it somehow has to happen in any other
cfg80211 callback).

Otherwise, in other contexts, drivers may continue to use the
normal netdev (un)registration functions as usual.

Internally, we still use the netdev notifier and track (by the
new wdev->registered bool) if the wdev had already been added
to cfg80211 or not.

wil6210: fix PTK re-key race

Fix a race between cfg80211 add_key call and transmitting of 4/4 EAP
packet. In case the transmit is delayed until after the add key takes
place, message 4/4 will be encrypted with the new key, and the
receiver side (AP) will drop it due to MIC error.

Wil6210 will monitor and look for the transmitted packet 4/4 eap key.
In case add_key takes place before the transmission completed, then
wil6210 will let the FW store the key and wil6210 will notify the FW
to use the PTK key only after 4/4 eap packet transmission was
completed.

The enhanced DMA TX data path is handled using a descriptor
ring per connection and a single status ring.

The driver gets TX completions via the TX status ring. Each
status message points to the completed descriptor ring and
includes the number of completed descriptors in this ring.

Non TSO enhanced DMA TX descriptors are similar to legacy DMA
TX descriptors, hence the same transmit function can be used.

However, enhanced DMA TSO frames division is performed by the
HW, hence a new function is added to handle enhanced DMA TSO.

wil6210: add support for enhanced DMA structures

In enhanced DMA the vrings are handled internally by the FW
and are not exposed to the driver.
Instead, the driver handles descriptor rings, which are mapped

The completions of the TX and RX descriptors are notified to
the driver using status rings. Each status ring descriptor
includes information of the completed descriptors and the ring id
of their descriptor ring.

This patch changes struct vring to generic wil_ring to allow
its reuse for enhanced DMA descriptor rings and adds the descriptor
and status rings specific descriptors.

- vrings has changed to rings
- vring_idle_trsh has changed to ring_idle_trsh

Simple infrastructure changes for supporting multiple
virtual interfaces (multiple VIFs).
It is still not possible to add new VIFs so the only VIF
belongs to the main interface.
Main changes:
1. Add MAC ID(mid) argument to wmi_send and wmi_call to
allow invoking WMI commands on different VIFs.
2. Similarly, in WMI event handler look at the mid reported
by FW and extract VIF structure (currently only for main
interface). All WMI event handlers operate on wil6210_vif
structure so they know on which VIF they were called.
3. Trivial changes to use wil6210_vif structure and MID
throughout the code.
4. Various changes to logging to report MID.

More complete multiple VIFs support will be added gradually
in next patches.
