Use the built-in function instead of memset.

Miscellanea:

Add #include &lt;linux/etherdevice.h&gt; where appropriate
Use ETH_ALEN instead of 6

The kfree() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then
returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

<title>hostap: Do not free priv until timer handler has actually stopped using it</title>

Function del_timer() does not guarantee that timer was really deleted.
If the timer handler is beeing executed at the moment, the function
does nothing. So, it's possible to use already freed memory in the handler:

[ref: Documentation/DocBook/kernel-locking.tmpl]

This was found using grep and compile-tested only. Please, consider
applying or something similar to it.

proc_create_data() and seq_file instead.

<title>workqueue: deprecate flush[_delayed]_work_sync()</title>

<content type='text'>
flush[_delayed]_work_sync() are now spurious.  Mark them deprecated
and convert all users to flush[_delayed]_work().

If you're cc'd and wondering what's going on: Now all workqueues are
non-reentrant and the regular flushes guarantee that the work item is
not pending or running on any CPU on return, so there's no reason to
use the sync flushes at all and they're going away.

This patch doesn't make any functional difference.
