This patch handles a corner case where TX packet would remain in
driver queue till next packet comes in.
Here is sequence:
1. TX packet is queued via hard_start_xmit and main_work is queued
2. SDIO interrupt comes in which directly call mwifiex_main_process.
This starts executing main superloop.
3. Now work from step1 is scheduled but at first check itself it sees
mwifiex_processing is set and exits.
4. Now if superloop from step2 has passed TX processing part of superloop
this packet would remain in queue until next packet/command/SDIO interrupt
arrives and queues main_work.
This patch fixes this corner case by defining more_task flag which is set when
mwifiex_processing is found to be true. At end of superloop we again check if
more_task flag is set and if set, execute superloop again.

This patch adds auto TDLS support to mwifiex.
Auto TDLS functionality works as follows:
1. Whenever userspace application has triggered TDLS connection with
any peer, driver would store this peer mac address details in its database.
2. After this driver whenever driver receives packet on direct link,
it would store rssi and timestamp in peer information.
3. Whenever a packet is to be transmitted to non-AP peer in station mode,
driver would check if TDLS link can be established by looking at peer RSSI
information. Driver would initiate TDLS setup in such cases.
4. Periodic timer is used for updating peer information.
5. Auto TDLS peer list & timer are cleared during disconnection or driver unload.

On some platforms, system goes out of memory during heavy
Rx traffic with our USB chipsets.
In case of SDIO/PCIe, after receiving 50 packets in Rx queue
we stop processing interrupts till packets pending fall below
low threshold i.e 20. We don't have similar logic for USB,
so if host platform is slow, we would hit a case where firmware
keeps on pushing packets at high speed than driver/kernel can
process.
We will stop submitting URBs for Rx data when pending packet
count reaches high threshold and restart them when enough
packets are consumed to solve the problem.

Sometimes pending internal scan commands are delayed to give
preference to Tx traffic. 'scan_processing' flag has been
checked at the beginning of delay timer routine to know if in the
meantime scan operation has been cancelled.
There is a corner case where pending scan commands are emptied
after scan_processing flag check is passed. In this case
wrong pointer returned by list_first_entry() is passed to
list_del() which causes system hang.

Add a new argument for ndo_select_queue() callback that passes a
fallback handler. This gets invoked through netdev_pick_tx();
fallback handler is currently __netdev_pick_tx() as most drivers
invoke this function within their customized implementation in
case for skbs that don't need any special handling. This fallback
handler can then be replaced on other call-sites with different
queue selection methods (e.g. in packet sockets, pktgen etc).
This also has the nice side-effect that __netdev_pick_tx() is
then only invoked from netdev_pick_tx() and export of that
function to modules can be undone.

Currently, the tx queue were selected implicitly in ndo_dfwd_start_xmit(). The
will cause several issues:
- NETIF_F_LLTX were removed for macvlan, so txq lock were done for macvlan
instead of lower device which misses the necessary txq synchronization for
lower device such as txq stopping or frozen required by dev watchdog or
control path.
- dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device
watchdog.
- dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash
when tso is disabled for lower device.
Fix this by explicitly introducing a new param for .ndo_select_queue() for just
selecting queues in the case of l2 forwarding offload. netdev_pick_tx() was also
extended to accept this parameter and dev_queue_xmit_accel() was used to do l2
forwarding transmission.
With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need
to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit(). Also there's no need to keep
a dedicated ndo_dfwd_start_xmit() and we can just reuse the code of
dev_queue_xmit() to do the transmission.
In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it
provides a necessary synchronization method.
