Getting the mvm station out of station id requires dereferencing
the station id to get ieee80211_sta, then checking for pointer
validity and only then extract mvm station out.
Given that there are helpers to do it - use them instead of
duplicating the code whenever we need only mvm station.

Add a timer in order to release expired frames from the
reorder buffer.
This is needed since some APs do not retransmit frames
to fill in the reorder holes and in TCP it results with
a complete stall of traffic.
This has a few side effects on the general design:
The nssn may not reflect the the head of the reorder buffer.
This situation is valid, and packets with SN lower than the
reorder buffer head will be dropped.
Another side effect is that since the reorder timer might expire
we need to lock the reorder buffer.
This however is fine since the locking is only inside a
single reorder buffer between RX path and reorder timeout and
there is no outside contention.

Next hardware will direct packets to core based on the TCP/UDP
streams.
This logic can create holes in reorder buffer since packets that
belong to other stream were directed to a different core.
However, those are valid holes and the packets can be indicated
in L3 order.
The hardware will utilize a mechanism of informing the driver of
the normalized ssn and the driver shall release all packets that
SN is lower than the nssn.
This enables managing the reorder across the queues without sharing
any data between them.
The reorder buffer is allocated and released directly in the RX path
in order to avoid various races between control path and rx path.
The code utilizes the internal messaging to notify rx queues of when
to delete the reorder buffer.

According to the spec when a BA session is started there
is a timeout set for the session in the ADDBA request.
If there is not activity on the TA/TID then the session
expires and a DELBA is sent.
In order to check for the timeout, data must be shared
among the rx queues.
Add a timer that runs as long as BA session is active
for the station and stops aggregation session if needed.
This patch also lays the infrastructure for the reordering
buffer which will be enabled in the next patches.

"DQA" is shorthand for "dynamic queue allocation". This
enables on-demand allocation of queues per RA/TID rather than
statically allocating per vif, thus allowing a potential
benefit of various factors.
Please refer to the DOC section this patch adds to sta.h to
see a more in-depth explanation of this feature.
There are many things to take into consideration when working
in DQA mode, and this patch is only one in a series. Note that
default operation mode is non-DQA mode, unless the FW
indicates that it supports DQA mode.
This patch enables support of DQA for a station connected to
an AP, and works in a non-aggregated mode.
When a frame for an unused RA/TID arrives at the driver, it
isn't TXed immediately, but deferred first until a suitable
queue is first allocated for it, and then TXed by a worker
that both allocates the queues and TXes deferred traffic.
When a STA is removed, its queues goes back into the queue
pools for reuse as needed.

Next hardware will direct TCP/UDP streams to different cores.
Packets belonging to the same stream will be directed to the same
core.
The result is that duplicates will be always directed to the same
rx queue were the first packet was received.
This enabled parallelizing the duplicate packet detection across
the different cores, without sharing data between the rx queues.

The 9000 hardware introduces the frame releaser, which
keeps track of the aggregation window and notifies host
of the window status. This requires in turn updating
the hardware with the RX BA session window size.

accordingly.

Currently, the number of associated stations gets updated when adding

a station was inserted before it was associated

Currently when creating a new vif in monitor mode the driver doesn't
allocate a specific station. This causes that in the situation that
tx traffic is injected, the tx queues are not scheduled,
with the result of a TFD queue hang.
Fix that by allocating a station and ensuring its tx queues
are scheduled.

Instead of keeping the fw_key_table bits set when the keys are removed
(i.e. in D3 entry or HW_RESTART flows), clear them and set them again
only when the keys have been successfully re-added. This makes the
bitmask more closely tied to the actual firmware programming.

When we have holes in the BA window, there might be frames
that have been ACKed between the read and the right
pointers. This means that these frames won't be scheduled
again by the SCD and the firwmare won't see them.
This invalidates the number of frames we tell the firmware
to send. When we detect this case, tell mac80211 to close
the SP and to send an EOSP so that the firmware can be in
sync.

We send an ADD_STA to instruct the firmware to release
frames despite the peer being in PS.
Since the ADD_STA command and the Tx frame that comes
immediately afterwards can be reordered by the DMA engine,
we need to block the Tx queues until the firmware replies
with the ADD_STA response.

When sending the first ADD_STA HCMD for a STA, the %add_modify
field indicates an addition of a STA and not a modification
of one. In such a case, all fields of the HCMD are used to
initialize the corresponding fields in the FW, regardless of
what bits are set in %modify_mask.
Set the %tid_disable_tx field to mvm_sta->tid_disable_agg in
iwl_mvm_sta_send_to_fw(). If the STA is only updated this will
have no effect, but if it is added - it will make sure the
STA starts with the correct queues - if any - configured as
non-aggregated by default (until told otherwise).
