When an interface is removed, we should also be deleting the driver
debugfs entries (as it might still exist in DOWN state in mac80211). At
the same time, when adding an interface, we can check the
IEEE80211_SDATA_IN_DRIVER flag to know whether the interface was
previously known to the driver and is simply being reconfigured.

The driver debugfs entries still exist when the interface is re-added

<title>wifi: mac80211: handle debugfs when switching to/from MLO</title>

<content type='text'>
In MLO, we have a per-link debugfs directory which contains the
per-link files. In case of non-MLO we would like to put the per-link
files in the netdev directory to keep it how it was before MLO.

- Upon interface creation the netdev will be created with the per-link
  files in it.
- Upon switching to MLO: delete the entire netdev directory and then
  recreate it without the per-link files. Then the per-link directories
  with the per-link files in it will be created in ieee80211_link_init()
- Upon switching to non-MLO: delete the entire netdev directory
  (including the per-link directories) and recreate it with the per-link
  files in it.

Note that this also aligns to always call the vif link debugfs
method for the deflink as promised in the documentation, which
wasn't done before.

<content type='text'>
Add a callback which the driver can use to add the vif debugfs.
We used to have this back until commit d260ff12e776 ("mac80211:
remove vif debugfs driver callbacks") where we thought that it
will be easier to just add them during interface add/remove.

However, now with multi-link, we want to have proper debugfs
for drivers for multi-link where some files might be in the
netdev for non-MLO connections, and in the links for MLO ones,
so we need to do some reconstruction when switching the mode.

Moving to this new call enables that and MLO drivers will have
to use it for proper debugfs operation.

<title>wifi: mac80211: fix BA session teardown race</title>

<content type='text'>
As previously reported by Alexander, whose commit 69403bad97aa
("wifi: mac80211: sdata can be NULL during AMPDU start") I'm
reverting as part of this commit, there's a race between station
destruction and aggregation setup, where the aggregation setup
can happen while the station is being removed and queue the work
after ieee80211_sta_tear_down_BA_sessions() has already run in
__sta_info_destroy_part1(), and thus the worker will run with a
now freed station. In his case, this manifested in a NULL sdata
pointer, but really there's no guarantee whatsoever.

The real issue seems to be that it's possible at all to have a
situation where this occurs - we want to stop the BA sessions
when doing _part1, but we cannot be sure, and WLAN_STA_BLOCK_BA
isn't necessarily effective since we don't know that the setup
isn't concurrently running and already got past the check.

Simply call ieee80211_sta_tear_down_BA_sessions() again in the
second part of station destruction, since at that point really
nothing else can hold a reference to the station any more.

Also revert the sdata checks since those are just misleading at
this point.

Since we're now protecting everything with the wiphy mutex
(and were really using it for almost everything before),
there's no longer any real reason to have a separate wdev
mutex. It may feel better, but really has no value.
