Don't validate interface combinations on a stopped
interface. Otherwise we might end up being able to
create a new interface with a certain type, but
won't be able to change an existing interface
into that type.

This also skips some other functions when
interface is stopped and changing interface type.

If a given interface combination doesn't contain
a required interface type then we missed checking
that and erroneously allowed it even though iface
type wasn't there at all. Add a check that makes
sure that all interface types are accounted for.

cfg80211_calculate_bitrate() doesn't work for MCS
rates 32 or higher, and it has always returned 0
in that case. Warn if it ever really happens.

spatch/coccinelle isn't perfect.  It doesn't understand
__aligned(x) and doesn't convert functions it can't parse.

Convert the remaining compare_ether_addr uses.

Use the new bool function ether_addr_equal to add
some clarity and reduce the likelihood for misuse
of compare_ether_addr for sorting.

I removed a conversion from scan.c/cmp_bss_core
that appears to be a sorting function.

Done via cocci script:

$ cat compare_ether_addr.cocci

Fix merge between commit 3adadc08cc1e ("net ax25: Reorder ax25_exit to
remove races") and commit 0ca7a4c87d27 ("net ax25: Simplify and
cleanup the ax25 sysctl handling")

The former moved around the sysctl register/unregister calls, the
later simply removed them.

With help from Stephen Rothwell.

My grand plan to allow drivers to gradually move over
to advertising virtual interface combinations and only
enforce with drivers that do want it enforced doesn't
seem to be working out, only Christian ever added the
advertising (to carl9170), nobody else did.

Begin enforcing combinations in cfg80211 so that users
can rely on the information reported about a device.
