There were crashes reported in this code, and the timer_shutdown()
warning in one of the previous patches indicates that the timeout
timer for the AP response (addba_resp_timer) is still armed while
we're stopping the aggregation session.

After a very long deliberation of the code, so far the only way I
could find that might cause this would be the following sequence:
 - session start requested
 - session start indicated to driver, but driver returns
   IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_START_DELAY_ADDBA
 - session stop requested, sets HT_AGG_STATE_WANT_STOP
 - session stop worker runs ___ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session(),
   sets HT_AGG_STATE_STOPPING

From here on, the order doesn't matter exactly, but:

 1. driver calls ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe(),
    setting HT_AGG_STATE_START_CB
 2. driver calls ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe(),
    setting HT_AGG_STATE_STOP_CB
 3. the worker will run ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb() for
    HT_AGG_STATE_START_CB
 4. the worker will run ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb() for
    HT_AGG_STATE_STOP_CB

(the order could also be 1./3./2./4.)

This will cause ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb() to send out the AddBA
request frame to the AP and arm the timer, but we're already in
the middle of stopping and so the ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb() will
no longer assume it needs to stop anything.

Prevent this by checking for WANT_STOP/STOPPING in the start CB,
and warn if we're sending a frame on a stopping session.

This is all true today, but difficult to understand since
the callers are in other files etc. Add two new lockdep
assertions to make things easier to read.

This allows low level drivers to refresh the tx agg session timer, based on
querying stats from the firmware usually. Especially for some mt76 devices
support .net_fill_forward_path would bypass mac80211, which leads to tx BA
session timeout clients that set a timeout in their AddBA response to our
request, even if our request is without a timeout.

<content type='text'>
This management frame is intended for the MLD so we
treat it in mac80211 as MLD addressed as well, and
should therefore use the MLD address of the AP for
the BSSID field in the frame, address translation
applies.

This management frame is intended for the MLD so we
treat it in mac80211 as MLD addressed as well, and
should therefore use the MLD address of the AP for
the BSSID field in the frame, address translation
applies.

There are a couple of new things that should be possible
with MLO:
 * selecting the link to transmit to a station by link ID,
   which a previous patch added to the nl80211 API
 * selecting the link by frequency, similarly
 * allowing transmittion to an MLD without specifying any
   channel or link ID, with MLD addresses

Enable these use cases. Also fix the address comparison
in client mode to use the AP (MLD) address.

Start reorganizing interface related data structures toward
MLD. The most complex part here is for the keys, since we
have to split the various kinds of GTKs off to the link but
still need to use (for WEP) the other keys as a fallback
even for multicast frames.

<title>mac80211: prepare sta handling for MLO support</title>

Currently in mac80211 each STA object is represented
using sta_info datastructure with the associated
STA specific information and drivers access ieee80211_sta
part of it.

With MLO (Multi Link Operation) support being added
in 802.11be standard, though the association is logically
with a single Multi Link capable STA, at the physical level
communication can happen via different advertised
links (uniquely identified by Channel, operating class,
BSSID) and hence the need to handle multiple link
STA parameters within a composite sta_info object
called the MLD STA. The different link STA part of
MLD STA are identified using the link address which can
be same or different as the MLD STA address and unique
link id based on the link vif.

To support extension of such a model, the sta_info
datastructure is modified to hold multiple link STA
objects with link specific params currently within
sta_info moved to this new structure. Similarly this is
done for ieee80211_sta as well which will be accessed
within mac80211 as well as by drivers, hence trivial
driver changes are expected to support this.

For current non MLO supported drivers, only one link STA
is present and link information is accessed via 'deflink'
member.

For MLO drivers, we still need to define the APIs etc. to
get the correct link ID and access the correct part of
the station info.

Currently in mac80211, all link STA info are accessed directly
via deflink. These will be updated to access via link pointers
indexed by link id with MLO support patches, with link id
being 0 for non MLO supported cases.

Except for couple of macro related changes, below spatch takes
care of updating mac80211 and driver code to access to the
link STA info via deflink.

If an MFP station isn't authorized, the receiver will (or
at least should) drop the action frame since it's a robust
management frame, but if we're not authorized we haven't
installed keys yet. Refuse attempts to start a session as
they'd just time out.
