These BUG_ON statements should never trigger, but in the unlikely
event that somebody does manage don't stop everything but simply
exit the code path with an error.
Leave the one BUG_ON where changing it would result in a NULL
pointer dereference.

This regression was introduced in "mac80211: cache mesh
beacon".
mesh_sync_offset_adjust_tbtt() was assuming that the
beacon would be rebuilt in every single pre-tbtt
interrupt, but now the beacon update happens on the
workqueue, and it must be ready for immediate delivery to
the driver.
Save a pointer to the meshconf IE in the beacon_data (this
works because both the IE pointer and beacon buffer are
protected by the same rcu_{dereference,assign_pointer}())
for quick updates during pre-tbtt. This is faster and a
little prettier than iterating over the elements to find
the meshconf IE every time.

The local TSF timer is used to compute the timing offset between
mesh peers on beacon reception. However, asking the device for
the TSF is not very accurate, so we prefer to use rx->mactime
if available. In the latter case, calling drv_get_tsf() just
adds more delay into the RX path, so skip it if we can.

There's various code with strange indentation,
questionable loop and locking constructs, etc.
The bigger change is moving the "sdata" argument
to the first argument of all functions, like all
other mac80211 functions that have one.

Currently the mesh sync code checks, whether peers indicate TBTT adjustment,
but it never sets the corresponding flag itself.
By setting ifmsh->tbtt_adjusting to true, it will set the corresponding field
in the mesh configuration IE of own beacons.
This indication will be set in the current beacon. The TBTT adjustment will be
performed afterwards, affecting the next beacon. Thus, the first beacon with
stable TBTT will not indicate adjustment anymore and peers will continue
tracking the new offset.

Allow drivers to indicate their mactime is at RX completion and adjust
for this in mac80211. Also rename the existing RX_FLAG_MACTIME_MPDU to
RX_FLAG_MACTIME_START to clarify its intent. Based on similar code by
Johannes Berg.

There's no vendor-specific mesh sync implemented
and there don't need to be dummy handlers that
only print messages, so remove that code. While
at it, also constify the mesh sync ops.

The call to drv_get/set_tsf() was put on the workqueue to perform tsf
adjustments since that function might sleep. However it ended up inside
a spinlock, whose critical section must be atomic. Do tsf adjustment
outside the spinlock instead, and get rid of a warning.

There are a few things that make the logging and
debugging in mac80211 less useful than it should
be right now:
* a lot of messages should be pr_info, not pr_debug
* wholesale use of pr_debug makes it require *both*
Kconfig and dynamic configuration
* there are still a lot of ifdefs
* the style is very inconsistent, sometimes the
sdata->name is printed in front
Clean up everything, introducing new macros and
separating out the station MLME debugging into
a new Kconfig symbol.

When testing mesh synchronization we observed a global TSF slowdown that
was dependent on the number of synchronized mesh stations. This seems
to be caused by the TSF adjustment (read/write) latency.
Adding a small margin to the Toffset setpoint solved the problem.

This patch adds MBSS extensible synchronization framework (Sec.
13.13.2 of IEEE Std. 802.11-2012).
The framework is implemented via an ops table which defines the
following functions:
rx_bcn_presp() - this is called every time a mesh beacon is
received.
adjust_tbtt() - this is called immediately before a beacon is about
to be transmitted.
The default neighbor offset synchronization defined in the standard is
implemented. We also provide template functions for vendor specific
methods.
When neighbor offset synchronization is active (which is the default)
mesh neighbors in the same MBSS will track timing offsets to each other
and compensate clock drift.
In our tests we observed that this mesh synchronization implementation
successfully corrected drifts between stations of ~2PPM while
introducing a jitter of ~20us.
It is also possible to test this framework on mac80211_hwsim simulated
phys to see how it behaves under different topologies, over poor links,
etc.
