<title>wifi: mac80211: add a driver callback to check active_links</title>

<id>e993af2ed2882f5dade10474d7fd1e2403aa0ab7</id>
<content type='text'>
During ieee80211_set_active_links() we do (among the others):
1. Call drv_change_vif_links() with both old_active and new_active
2. Unassign the chanctx for the removed link(s) (if any)
3. Assign chanctx to the added link(s) (if any)
4. Call drv_change_vif_links() with the new_active links bitmap

The problem here is that during step #1 the driver doesn't know whether
we will activate multiple links simultaneously or are just doing a link
switch, so it can't check there if multiple links are supported/enabled.
(Some of the drivers might enable/disable this option dynamically)

And during step #3, in which the driver already knows that,
returning an error code (for example when multiple links are not
supported or disabled), will cause a warning, and we will still complete
the transition to the new_active links.
(It is hard to undo things in that stage, since we released channels etc.)

Therefore add a driver callback to check if the desired new_active links
will be supported by the driver or not. This callback will be called
in the beginning of ieee80211_set_active_links() so we won't do anything
before we are sure it is supported.

When setting the interface links, ignore the change iff both the
valid links and the dormant links did not change. This is needed
to support cases where the valid links didn't change but the dormant
links did.

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

<id>c942398f95efb06d5434f86ea00fabe267f57af8</id>
<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.

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.

We now hold the wiphy mutex everywhere that we use or
needed the local-&gt;mtx, so we don't need this mutex any
more. Remove it.

Most of this change was done automatically with spatch.
