When we remove an interface, we can currently end up having
a pointer to it left in local->scan_sdata after it has been
set down, and then with a hardware scan the scan completion
can try to access it which is a bug. Alternatively, a scan
that started as a hardware scan may terminate as though it
was a software scan, if the timing is just right.
On SMP systems, software scan also has a similar problem,
just canceling the delayed work and setting a flag isn't
enough since it may be running concurrently; in this case
we would also never restore state of other interfaces.
This patch hopefully fixes the problems by always invoking
ieee80211_scan_completed or requiring it to be invoked by
the driver, I suspect the drivers that have ->hw_scan() are
buggy. The bug will not manifest itself unless you remove
the interface while hw-scanning which will also turn off
the hw, and then add a new interface which will be unusable
until you scan once.

The timer restart is done wrongly, we shouldn't set the REQ_RUN
bit when the scan has finished if it hadn't been set before the
scan started. If the timer fires during the scan, it will set
REQ_RUN and then we can run the work for it, if it didn't fire
then we shouldn't run its work either.

This patch:
1. Moves addition of IBSS station from
prepare_for_handlers to ieee80211_rx_bss_info when triggered from beacon
eliminating bogus supported rates.
2. Initialize properly supported rates also in IBSS merging
3. Ensure that mandatory rates are always added into supported
rates. This is needed in case when station addition is triggered from
non beacon/probe packet. Some management frames need to be sent
4. Remove initialization of supported rates from self rates. This path
was dead code after 6bc37c06bc4 and in general incorrect.

mac80211: eliminate IBSS warning in rate_lowest_index()
An IBSS station is added in prepare_for_handlers where the rate scaling was
initialized only with single rate matching the received packet.
The correct rate scale information should be updated only in
ieee80211_rx_bss_info function where beacon is parsed. Because
of coding error the rate info was left untouched.
If a beacon has triggered the connection the rate remined 1Mbps.

memory for each specific IE separately. This removes lot of unnecessary

The association request includes a list of supported data rates.
802.11b: 4 supported rates.
802.11g: 12 (8 + 4) supported rates.
802.11a: 8 supported rates.
The rates tag of the assoc request has room for only 8 rates. In case of
802.11g an extended rate tag is appended. However in net/wireless/mlme.c
an extended (empty) rate tag is also appended if the number of rates is
exact 8. This empty (length=0) extended rates tag causes some APs to
deny association with code 18 (unsupported rates). These APs include my
ZyXEL G-570U, and according to Tomas Winkler som Cisco APs.
'If count == 8' has been used to check for the need for an extended rates
tag. But count would also be equal to 8 if the for loop exited because of
no more supported rates. Therefore a check for count being less than
rates_len would seem more correct.

The previous code was using IWEVCUSTOM to report IEs from AssocReq and
AssocResp frames into user space. This can easily hit the 256 byte
limit (IW_CUSTOM_MAX) with APs that include number of vendor IEs in
AssocResp. This results in the event message not being sent and dmesg
showing "wlan0 (WE) : Wireless Event too big (366)" type of errors.
Convert mac80211 to use IWEVASSOCREQIE/IWEVASSOCRESPIE to avoid the
issue of being unable to send association IEs as wireless events. These
newer event types use binary encoding and larger maximum size
(IW_GENERIC_IE_MAX = 1024), so the likelyhood of not being able to send
the IEs is much smaller than with IWEVCUSTOM. As an extra benefit, the
code is also quite a bit simpler since there is no need to allocate an
extra buffer for hex encoding.
