mac80211: fix skb buffering issue (and fixes to that)

This is a backport of the mainline patches

Here is the description of the first of
those patches (the other two just fixed
bugs added by that patch):

Since I removed the master netdev, we've been
keeping internal queues only, and even before
that we never told the networking stack above
the virtual interfaces about congestion. This
means that packets are queued in mac80211 and
the upper layers never know, possibly leading
to memory exhaustion and other problems.

This patch makes all interfaces multiqueue and
uses ndo_select_queue to put the packets into
queues per AC. Additionally, when the driver
stops a queue, we now stop all corresponding
queues for the virtual interfaces as well.

The injection case will use VO by default for
non-data frames, and BE for data frames, but
downgrade any data frames according to ACM. It
needs to be fleshed out in the future to allow
chosing the queue/AC in radiotap.
