wifi: mac80211: agg-tx: prevent start/stop race

There were crashes reported in this code, and the timer_shutdown()
warning in one of the previous patches indicates that the timeout
timer for the AP response (addba_resp_timer) is still armed while
we're stopping the aggregation session.

After a very long deliberation of the code, so far the only way I
could find that might cause this would be the following sequence:
- session start requested
- session start indicated to driver, but driver returns
IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_START_DELAY_ADDBA
- session stop requested, sets HT_AGG_STATE_WANT_STOP
- session stop worker runs ___ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session(),
sets HT_AGG_STATE_STOPPING

From here on, the order doesn't matter exactly, but:

1. driver calls ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe(),
setting HT_AGG_STATE_START_CB
2. driver calls ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe(),
setting HT_AGG_STATE_STOP_CB
3. the worker will run ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb() for
HT_AGG_STATE_START_CB
4. the worker will run ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb() for
HT_AGG_STATE_STOP_CB

(the order could also be 1./3./2./4.)

This will cause ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb() to send out the AddBA
request frame to the AP and arm the timer, but we're already in
the middle of stopping and so the ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb() will
no longer assume it needs to stop anything.

Prevent this by checking for WANT_STOP/STOPPING in the start CB,
and warn if we're sending a frame on a stopping session.

mac80211: prepare sta handling for MLO support

Currently in mac80211 each STA object is represented
using sta_info datastructure with the associated
STA specific information and drivers access ieee80211_sta
part of it.

With MLO (Multi Link Operation) support being added
in 802.11be standard, though the association is logically
with a single Multi Link capable STA, at the physical level
communication can happen via different advertised
links (uniquely identified by Channel, operating class,
BSSID) and hence the need to handle multiple link
STA parameters within a composite sta_info object
called the MLD STA. The different link STA part of
MLD STA are identified using the link address which can
be same or different as the MLD STA address and unique
link id based on the link vif.

To support extension of such a model, the sta_info
datastructure is modified to hold multiple link STA
objects with link specific params currently within
sta_info moved to this new structure. Similarly this is
done for ieee80211_sta as well which will be accessed
within mac80211 as well as by drivers, hence trivial
driver changes are expected to support this.

For current non MLO supported drivers, only one link STA
is present and link information is accessed via 'deflink'
member.

For MLO drivers, we still need to define the APIs etc. to
get the correct link ID and access the correct part of
the station info.

Currently in mac80211, all link STA info are accessed directly
via deflink. These will be updated to access via link pointers
indexed by link id with MLO support patches, with link id
being 0 for non MLO supported cases.

Except for couple of macro related changes, below spatch takes
care of updating mac80211 and driver code to access to the
link STA info via deflink.

clearly sufficient.

Change ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb() to also call it without the
sta->lock held, by factoring it out of ieee80211_remove_tid_tx()
(which is only called in this one place).

This breaks the locking chain and makes it less likely that
we'll have similar locking chain problems in the future.

mac80211: accept aggregation sessions on 6 GHz

On 6 GHz, stations don't have ht_supported set, but they can
still do aggregation since they must have HE, allow that.

mac80211: agg-tx: add an option to defer ADDBA transmit

Driver tells mac80211 to sends ADDBA with SSN (starting sequence number)
from the head of the queue, while the transmission of all the frames in the
queue may take a while, which causes the peer to time out. In order to
fix this scenario, add an option to defer ADDBA transmit until queue
is drained.

mac80211: simplify TX aggregation start

There really is no need to make drivers call the
ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe() function and then
schedule the worker if all we want is to set a bit.

Add a new return value (that was previously considered
invalid) to indicate that the driver is immediately
ready for the session, and make drivers use it. The
only drivers that remain different are the Intel ones
as they need to negotiate more with the firmware.

mac80211: Fix Tx aggregation session tear down with ITXQs

When mac80211 requests the low level driver to stop an ongoing
Tx aggregation, the low level driver is expected to call
ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe() to indicate that it is ready
to stop the session. The callback in turn schedules a worker
to complete the session tear down, which in turn also handles
the relevant state for the intermediate Tx queue.

However, as this flow in asynchronous, the intermediate queue
should be stopped and not continue servicing frames, as in
such a case frames that are dequeued would be marked as part
of an aggregation, although the aggregation is already been
stopped.

Fix this by stopping the intermediate Tx queue, before
calling the low level driver to stop the Tx aggregation.

mac80211: Add TXQ scheduling API

This adds an API to mac80211 to handle scheduling of TXQs. The interface
between driver and mac80211 for TXQ handling is changed by adding two new
functions: ieee80211_next_txq(), which will return the next TXQ to schedule
in the current round-robin rotation, and ieee80211_return_txq(), which the
driver uses to indicate that it has finished scheduling a TXQ (which will
then be put back in the scheduling rotation if it isn't empty).

The driver must call ieee80211_txq_schedule_start() at the start of each
scheduling session, and ieee80211_txq_schedule_end() at the end. The API
then guarantees that the same TXQ is not returned twice in the same
session (so a driver can loop on ieee80211_next_txq() without worrying
about breaking the loop.

Usage of the new API is optional, so drivers can be ported one at a time.
In this patch, the actual scheduling performed by mac80211 is simple
round-robin, but a subsequent commit adds airtime fairness awareness to the
scheduler.
