<title>mac80211: revert on-channel work optimisations</title>

<content type='text'>
The on-channel work optimisations have caused a
number of issues, and the code is unfortunately
very complex and almost impossible to follow.
Instead of attempting to put in more workarounds
let's just remove those optimisations, we can
work on them again later, after we change the
whole auth/assoc design.

This should fix rate_control_send_low() warnings,
see RH bug 731365.

This implements ht-cap over-rides for mac80211 drivers.
HT may be disabled, making an /a/b/g/n station act like an
a/b/g station.  HT40 may be disabled forcing the station to
be HT20 even if the AP and local hardware support HT40.

MAX-AMSDU may be disabled.
AMPDU-Density may be increased.
AMPDU-Factor may be decreased.

This has been successfully tested with ath9k using patched
wpa_supplicant and iw.

will newer be taken in that branch, so remove them.

When going back on-channel, we should reconfigure
the hw iff the hardware is not already configured
to the operational channel.

<id>eaa7af2ae582c9a8c51b374c48d5970b748a5ce2</id>
<content type='text'>
The offchannel code is currently broken - we should
remain_off_channel if the work was started, and
the work's channel and channel_type are the same
as local-&gt;tmp_channel and local-&gt;tmp_channel_type.

However, if wk-&gt;chan_type and local-&gt;tmp_channel_type
coexist (e.g. have the same channel type), we won't
remain_off_channel.

This behavior was introduced by commit da2fd1f
("mac80211: Allow work items to use existing
channel type.")

When I introduced in-kernel off-channel TX I
introduced a bug -- the work can't be canceled
again because the code clear the skb pointer.
Fix this by keeping track separately of whether
TX status has already been reported.

Whenever the scan request or tx_mgmt is requesting not to
use CCK rate for managemet frames through
NL80211_ATTR_TX_NO_CCK_RATE attribute, then mac80211 should
select appropriate least non-CCK rate. This could help to
send P2P probes and P2P action frames at non 11b rates
without diabling 11b rates globally.

Removing unnecessary messages saves code and text.

Site specific OOM messages are duplications of a generic MM
out of memory message and aren't really useful, so just
delete them.
