MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET has no meaning when calculating the
elapsed jiffies, as jiffies run out until ULONG_MAX.

This miscalculation results in erroneous values
in case of a wrap-around.

This exports a new cfg80211_stop_iface() function.

This is intended for driver internal interface
combination management and channel switching.

Due to locking issues (it re-enters driver) the
call is asynchronous and uses cfg80211 event
list/worker.

Name wiphy_to_rdev is more accurate to describe what the function
does, i.e., return a pointer pointing to struct
cfg80211_registered_device.

Name "dev" is too common and ambiguous, let all the pointer name
pointing to struct cfg80211_registered_device be "rdev". This can
improve code readability and consistency(since other places have
already called it rdev).

Get rid of the cfg80211_can_add_interface() and
cfg80211_can_change_interface() functions by moving that functionality
to mac80211.  With this patch all interface combination checks are now
out of cfg80211 (except for the channel switch case which will be
addressed in a future commit).

Additionally, modify the ieee80211_check_combinations() function so
that an undefined chandef can be passed, in order to use it before a
channel is defined.

Move the counting part of the interface combination check from
cfg80211 to mac80211.

This is needed to simplify locking when the driver has to perform a
combination check by itself (eg. with channel-switch).

When dynamically creating interfaces from userspace, e.g. for P2P usage,
such interfaces are usually owned by the process that created them, i.e.
wpa_supplicant. Should wpa_supplicant crash, such interfaces will often
cease operating properly and cause problems on restarting the process.

To avoid this problem, introduce an ownership concept for interfaces. If
an interface is owned by a netlink socket, then it will be destroyed if
the netlink socket is closed for any reason, including if the process it
belongs to crashed. This gives us a race-free way to get rid of any such
interfaces.

Macro ASSERT_RDEV_LOCK(rdev) is equal to ASSERT_RTNL(), so replace it
with ASSERT_RTNL() and remove it.

Commit "nl80211: send event when AP operation is stopped" added an
event to notify user space that an AP interface has been stopped, to
handle cases such as suspend etc. The event is sent regardless
if the stop AP flow was triggered by user space or due to internal state
change.

This might cause issues with wpa_supplicant/hostapd flows that consider
stop AP flow as a synchronous one, e.g., AP/GO channel change in the
absence of CSA support. In such cases, the flow will restart the AP
immediately after the stop AP flow is done, and only handle the stop
AP event after the current flow is done, and as a result stop the AP
again.

Change the current implementation to only send the event in case the
stop AP was triggered due to an internal reason.
