The call should happen with the driver lock held. We don't hold the driver
lock in newstate as it's a separate thread where we can't sleep (and we only
call wpi_cmd in async mode).

contention. The intent is to dynamically adjust to load imbalances, which
can cause severe contention.
Use pthread mutexes where possible instead of libc "spinlocks" (they aren't
actually spin locks). Conceptually, this change is meant only to support
the dynamic load balancing code by enabling the use of spin locks, but it
has the added apparent benefit of substantially improving performance due to
reduced context switches when there is moderate arena lock contention.
Proper tuning parameter configuration for this change is a finicky business,
and it is very much machine-dependent. One seemingly promising solution
would be to run a tuning program during operating system installation that
computes appropriate settings for load balancing. (The pthreads adaptive
spin locks should probably be similarly tuned.)
vector of slots for lazily freed objects. For each deallocation, before
doing the hard work of locking the arena and deallocating, try several times
to randomly insert the object into the vector using atomic operations.
This approach is particularly effective at reducing contention for
multi-threaded applications that use the producer-consumer model, wherein
one producer thread allocates objects, then multiple consumer threads
deallocate those objects.

currently, before to spin the turnstile spinlock is acquired and the
waiters flag is set.
This is not strictly necessary, so just spin before to acquire the
spinlock and to set the flags.
This will simplify a lot other functions too, as now we have the waiters
flag set only if there are actually waiters.
This should make wakeup/sleeping couplet faster under intensive mutex
workload.
This also fixes a bug in rw_try_upgrade() in the adaptive case, where
turnstile_lookup() will recurse on the ts_lock lock that will never be
really released [1].

the lookup by ieee channel number may fail leaving a null ptr in
se_chan; if this happens fallback to the channel recorded when the
frame is processed (curchan). Since the frame doesn't contribute
to scan results for the sta this is acceptable.
