cfg80211: add remain-on-channel command
Add new commands for requesting the driver to remain awake on a specified channel for the specified amount of time (and another command to cancel such an operation). This can be used to implement userspace-controlled off-channel operations, like Public Action frame exchange on another channel than the operation channel. The off-channel operation should behave similarly to scan, i.e. the local station (if associated) moves into power save mode to request the AP to buffer frames for it and then moves to the other channel to allow the off-channel operation to be completed. The duration parameter can be used to request enough time to receive a response from the target station.
