Due to the way the tasklets work in mac80211 there's
no need to ever disable them.
However, we need to clear the pending packets when
taking down the last interface because otherwise
the tx_pending_tasklet might be queued if the
driver mucks with the queues (which it shouldn't).
I've had a situation occasionally with ar9170 in
which ksoftirq was using 100% CPU time because
a disabled tasklet was scheduled, and I think that
was due to ar9170 receiving a packet while the
tasklet was disabled. That's strange and it really
should not do that for other reasons, but there's
no need to waste that much CPU time over it, it
should just warn instead.

When the interface type changes while connected, and the
driver does not require the interface to be down for a
type change, it is currently possible to get very strange
results unless the driver takes special care, which it
shouldn't have to.
To fix this, take care to disconnect/leave IBSS when
changing the interface type -- even if the driver may fail
the call. Also process all events that may be pending to
avoid running into a situation where an event is reported
but only processed after the type has already changed,
which would lead to missing events and warnings.
A side effect of this is that you will have disconnected
or left the IBSS even if the mode change ultimately fails,
but since the intention was to change it and thus leave or
disconnect, this is not a problem.

Bob reported that he got warnings in IBSS mode about
the ssid_len being zero on a joined event, but only
when kmemcheck was enabled. This appears to be due
to a race condition between drivers and userspace,
when the driver reports joined but the user in the
meantime decided to leave the IBSS again, the warning
would trigger. This was made more likely by kmemcheck
delaying the code that does the check and sends the
event.
So first, make the warning trigger closer to the
driver, which means it's not locked, but since only
the warning depends on it that's ok.
And secondly, users will not want to have spurious
warnings at all, so make those that are known to be
racy in such a way configurable.

When we lose a scan, cfg80211 tries to clean up after
the driver. However, it currently does this too early,
it does this in GOING_DOWN already instead of DOWN, so
it may happen with mac80211. Besides fixing this, also
make it more robust by leaking the scan request so if
the driver later actually finishes the scan, it won't
crash. Also check in ___cfg80211_scan_done whether a
scan request is still pending and exit if not.

Since configure_filter can sleep now, any multicast
configuration needed to be postponed to a work struct.
This, however, lead to a problem that we could queue
the work, stop the device and then afterwards invoke
configure_filter which may lead to driver hangs and is
a bug. To fix this, we can just cancel the filter work
since it's unnecessary to do after stopping the hw.
Since there are various places that call drv_stop, and
two of them do very similar things, the code for them
can be put into a shared function at the same time.

it's not trivial to put it back the way it was, since
the original patch had a deadlock.
Now do it in a completely new way: queue the check
off to a work struct, where we can freely lock. But
that has some more complications, like needing to
wait for it to be done before the wiphy/rdev can be
destroyed, so some code is required to handle that.

Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up
with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter
operation to a workqueue. To be able to simplify
things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add
a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that
need the multicast address list implement. This new
callback must be atomic, but most drivers either
don't care or just calculate a hash which can be
done atomically and then uploaded to the hardware
non-atomically.
A cursory look suggests that at76c50x-usb, ar9170,
mwl8k (which is actually very broken now), rt2x00,
wl1251, wl1271 and zd1211 should make use of this
