mac80211: re-enable re-transmission of filtered frames

In an earlier commit,

    mac80211: disable software retry for now

    Pavel Roskin reported a problem that seems to be due to
    software retry of already transmitted frames. It turns
    out that we've never done that correctly, but due to
    some recent changes it now crashes in the TX code. I've
    added a comment in the patch that explains the problem
    better and also points to possible solutions -- which
    I can't implement right now.

I disabled software retry of failed/filtered frames
because it was broken. With the work of the previous
patches, it now becomes fairly easy to re-enable it
by adding a flag indicating that the frame shouldn't
be modified, but still running it through the transmit
handlers to populate the control information.

mac80211: move control.hw_key assignment

When mac80211 asks a driver to encrypt a frame, it
must assign the control.hw_key pointer for it to
know which key to use etc. Currently, mac80211 does
this whenever it would software-encrypt a frame.

Change the logic of this code to assign the hw_key
pointer when selecting the key, and later check it
when deciding whether to encrypt the frame or let
it be encrypted by the hardware. This allows us to
later simply skip the encryption function since it
no longer modifies the TX control.

mwl8k: enable multi-BSS AP operation

- GET_HW_SPEC is now responsible for setting
  priv->{ap,sta}_macids_supported, which are bitmasks of supported
  macids for AP and STA mode.  (Typically, STA firmware images will
  support only one macid, #0, in STA mode, and AP firmware images
  will support macids #0-7, in AP mode.)
- Our wiphy ->interfaces_modes is now set based on the non-zero-ness
  of these two bitmasks.
- We main priv->macids_used, a bitmask of which macids are currently
  in use.  ->add_interface() will assign the lowest free macid for
  this interface type as it is created, or bail out if there are no
  more free macids to assign.  ->delete_interface() will mark the
  macid as being free again.

This enables the multi-BSS code added in the previous commits.

mac80211: check uapsd state for dynamic power save

To make U-APSD client mode effective, we must not wake up from dynamic power
save when transmitting frames. So if dynamic power save is enabled, it needs
check the queue the transmitted packet is in and decide if we need to wake
up or not.

In a perfect world, where all packets would have correct QoS tags, U-APSD
enabled queues should not trigger wakeup from power save. But in the real
world, where very few packets have correct QoS tags, this won't work. For
example, if only voip class has U-APSD enabled and we send a packet in voip
class, but the packets we receive are in best effort class, we would receive
the packets with the legacy power save method. And that would increase
latencies too much from a voip application point of view.

The workaround is to enable U-APSD for all qeueus and still use dynamic ps
wakeup for all other queues except voip. That way we can still save power
with a voip application and not sacrifice latency. Normal traffic (in
background, best effort or video class) would still trigger wakeup from
dynamic power save.
