A locking problem was found in routine _rtl92ee_cmd_send_packet() that led
to system freezes. Upon inspection, several drivers had the same problem;
however, the routines all used the same code. The common code has been
moved into rtlwifi.

The code fails to lock the skb queue, which leads to a number of problems.
This patch also fixes a Sparse warning about using a memset of 1 byte.

Not only does this patch update the driver to match the latest Realtek release,
it is an important step in getting the internal code source at Realtek to match
the code in the kernel. The primary reason for this is to make it easier for
Realtek to maintain the kernel source without requiring an intermediate like me.
In this process of merging the two source repositories, there are a lot
of changes in both, and this commit is rather large.

Casting a pointer to a pointer of the same type is pointless,
so remove these unnecessary casts.
Around these changes:
o Remove unnecessary parentheses
o Use consistent dereference style (change ptr[0] to *ptr)
o Argument alignment
Done via coccinelle script: (and some typing)
