In previous method each AP settings flag is represented by a top-level
flag attribute and conversion to enum cfg80211_ap_settings_flags had to
be done before sending them to driver. This commit is to make it easier
to define new AP settings flags and sending them to driver.
This commit also deprecate sending of
%NL80211_ATTR_EXTERNAL_AUTH_SUPPORT in %NL80211_CMD_START_AP. But to
maintain backwards compatibility checks for
%NL80211_ATTR_EXTERNAL_AUTH_SUPPORT in %NL80211_CMD_START_AP when
%NL80211_ATTR_AP_SETTINGS_FLAGS not present in %NL80211_CMD_START_AP.

ETSI standard defines "Offchannel CAC" as:
"Off-Channel CAC is performed by a number of non-continuous checks
spread over a period in time. This period, which is required to
determine the presence of radar signals, is defined as the Off-Channel
CAC Time..
Minimum Off-Channel CAC Time 6 minutes and Maximum Off-Channel CAC Time
4 hours..".
mac80211 implementation refers to a dedicated hw chain used for continuous
radar monitoring. Rename offchannel_* references to background_* in
order to avoid confusion with ETSI standard.

If necessary schedule offchan_cac_abort_wk work in cfg80211_radar_event
routine adding offchan parameter to cfg80211_radar_event signature.
Rename cfg80211_radar_event in __cfg80211_radar_event and introduce
the two following inline helpers:
- cfg80211_radar_event
- cfg80211_offchan_radar_event
Doing so the drv will not need to run cfg80211_offchan_cac_abort() after
radar detection on the offchannel chain.

The management registrations locking was broken, the list was
locked for each wdev, but cfg80211_mgmt_registrations_update()
iterated it without holding all the correct spinlocks, causing
list corruption.
Rather than trying to fix it with fine-grained locking, just
move the lock to the wiphy/rdev (still need the list on each
wdev), we already need to hold the wdev lock to change it, so
there's no contention on the lock in any case. This trivially
fixes the bug since we hold one wdev's lock already, and now
will hold the lock that protects all lists.

Add new attributes to configure support for multiple BSSID
and advanced multi-BSSID advertisements (EMA) in AP mode.
- NL80211_ATTR_MBSSID_CONFIG used for per interface configuration.
- NL80211_ATTR_MBSSID_ELEMS used to MBSSID elements for beacons.
Memory for the elements is allocated dynamically. This change frees
the memory in existing functions which call nl80211_parse_beacon(),
a comment is added to indicate the new references to do the same.

Add a driver FILS crypto offload extended capability flag to indicate
that the driver running in AP mode is capable of handling encryption
and decryption of (Re)Association request and response frames.
Add a command to set FILS AAD data to driver.
This feature is supported on drivers running in AP mode only.
This extended capability is exchanged with hostapd during cfg80211
init. If the driver indicates this capability, then before sending the
Authentication response frame, hostapd sets FILS AAD data to the
driver. This allows the driver to decrypt (Re)Association Request
frame and encrypt (Re)Association Response frame. FILS Key derivation
will still be done in hostapd.

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.

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.

NL80211_CMD_SET_SAR_SPECS is added to configure SAR from
user space. NL80211_ATTR_SAR_SPEC is used to pass the SAR
power specification when used with NL80211_CMD_SET_SAR_SPECS.
Wireless driver needs to register SAR type, supported frequency
ranges to wiphy, so user space can query it. The index in
frequency range is used to specify which sub band the power
limitation applies to. The SAR type is for compatibility, so later
other SAR mechanism can be implemented without breaking the user
space SAR applications.
Normal process is user space queries the SAR capability, and
gets the index of supported frequency ranges and associates the
power limitation with this index and sends to kernel.
Here is an example of message send to kernel:
