a6044b10a0 net80211: ieee80211_ratectl*: switch to reusable KPI
Replace various void * / int argument combinations with common structures:
- ieee80211_ratectl_tx_status for *_tx_complete();
- ieee80211_ratectl_tx_stats for *_tx_update();

While here, improve amrr_tx_update() for a bit:
1. In case, if receiver is not known (typical for Ralink USB drivers),
refresh Tx rate for all nodes on the interface.
2. There was a misuse:
- otus(4) sends non-decreasing counters (as originally intended);
- but ural(4), rum(4) and run(4) are using 'read & clear' registers
to obtain statistics for some period of time (and those 'last period'
values are used as arguments for tx_update()). If arguments are not big
enough, they are just discarded after the next call.

Fix: move counting into *_tx_update()
(now otus(4) will zero out all node counters after every tx_update() call)

Tested with:
- Intel 3945BG (wpi(4)), STA mode.
- WUSB54GC (rum(4)), STA / HOSTAP mode.
- RTL8188EU (urtwn(4)), STA mode.

daa4dc6942 Convert malloc/free back to #define's, as part of OS portability work.
DragonflyBSD uses the FreeBSD wireless stack and drivers.  Their malloc()
API is named differently, so they don't have userland/kernel symbol
clashes like we do (think libuinet.)

So, to make it easier for them and to port to other BSDs/other operating
systems, start hiding the malloc specific bits behind defines in
ieee80211_freebsd.h.

DragonflyBSD can now put these portability defines in their local
ieee80211_dragonflybsd.h.

This should be a great big no-op for everyone running wifi.

TODO:

* kill M_WAITOK - some platforms just don't want you to use it
* .. and/or handle it returning NULL rather than waiting forever.
* MALLOC_DEFINE() ?
* Migrate the well-known malloc names (eg M_TEMP) to net80211
  namespace defines.

98a310d904 When in the RUN -> AUTH -> RUN FSM transition happens, we'll call the
ratectl_node_init() functions and since ni_rtctls was already
malloc'ed() we will panic. Fix this by using the already malloc'ed
pointer.

69bf804b50 net80211 rate control framework (net80211 ratectl).
This framework allows drivers to abstract the rate control algorithm and
just feed the framework with the usable parameters. The rate control
framework will now deal with passing the parameters to the selected
algorithm. Right now we have AMRR (the default) and RSSADAPT but there's
no way to select one with ifconfig, yet.
The objective is to have more rate control algorithms in the net80211
stack so all drivers[0] can use it. Ideally, we'll have the well-known
sample rate control algorithm in the net80211 at some point so all
drivers can use it (not just ath).

[0] all drivers that do rate control in software, that is.

3569e353ca Multi-bss (aka vap) support for 802.11 devices.
Note this includes changes to all drivers and moves some device firmware
loading to use firmware(9) and a separate module (e.g. ral).  Also there
no longer are separate wlan_scan* modules; this functionality is now
bundled into the wlan module.
