If sdata doesn't have a valid dev (e.g. in case of monitor
vif), the vif_name field was initialized with (a length of)
some short string, but later was set to a different,
potentially larger one.
This resulted in out-of-bounds write, which usually
appeared as garbage in the trace log.
Simply trace sdata->name, as it should always have the
correct name for both cases.

There are two (related) issues with this.
One case, reported by Michal, is related to hostap: it unsets the
20/40 capability bit for stations that associate when it's in 20
MHz mode.
The other case, reported by Eyal, is that some APs like Netgear
R6300v2 and probably others based on the BCM4360 chipset can be
configured for doing VHT at 20Mhz. In this case the beacon has
a VHT IE but the HT cap indicates transmitter only support 20Mhz.
In both of these cases, we currently avoid VHT and use only HT
this means we can't use the highest rates (MCS8), so fixing this
leads to throughput improvements.

In case RFKILL is in KILL position, the NIC will issue an
interrupt straight away. This interrupt won't be sent
because it is masked in the hardware.
But if our interrupt service routine is called for another
reason (SHARED_IRQ), then we'll look at the interrupt cause
and service it. This can cause bad things if we are not
ready yet.
Explicitly clean the interrupt cause register to make sure
we won't service anything before we are ready to.

The expected throughput table used when estimating a new column
depends on the channel bandwidth. When switching from legacy to
siso or mimo the wrong expected throughput table was used as it
was chosen based on the the channel bandwidth in legacy which is
always 20Mhz. Instead it should be chosen based on the current sta
bandwidth which could be also 40Mhz or 80Mhz.
When enabling MCS9 this bug leads to a problem where the max
expected throughput of the siso or mimo column is 0 as MCS9 isn't
supported in 20Mhz. This in turns prevents switching to siso or mimo.
Fix this by using the sta bandwidth when deciding which table to choose.
