Some post-3.4 kernels have a problem when a cloned skb is used in the
RX path. This patch handles one such case for r8712u.
The patch was suggested by Eric Dumazet.

The driver has a dev_alloc_skb() and an skb_clone() call that are not
checked for failure.

This driver should not be carrying around ancient copies of
headers like <linux/ip.h> for its own use. Mapping it onto
the mainline one uncovers no build issues.

I am preparing to convert this driver from semaphore to mutex locking,
The first step has been to eliminate a number of semaphores that were
initialized but never used, and one whose only use was a single "up"
after initialization. A total of 9 semaphores were removed in this process.
One other change was to remove some inline semaphore routines that were
unused.
In addition, several cases had the following structure:
down()
if () {
...
}
up()
The locking overhead was reduced by moving the up/down inside the if
block.

In r8712_generate_ie(), HT check is no longer done.
Removed r8712_add_ht_addt_info().
Changes to defragmentation handling, and queue selection.
Get TSSI command.
Added an Ad-Hoc check to is_desired_network()
r8712_ind_disconnect() now checks for Linked state.
r8712_xmit_bh() now schedules an xmit tasklet.

This code is for a completely new version of the Realtek 8192 USB devices
such as the D-Link DWA-130. The Realtek code, which was originally for
Linux, Windows XP and Windows CE, has been stripped of all code not needed
for Linux. In addition, only one additional configuration variable, which
enables AP mode, remains.
