Our current TKIP code races against itself on TX
since we can process multiple packets at the same
time on different ACs, but they all share the TX
context for TKIP. This can lead to bad IVs etc.
Also, the crypto offload helper code just obtains
the P1K/P2K from the cache, and can update it as
well, but there's no guarantee that packets are
really processed in order.
To fix these issues, first introduce a spinlock
that will protect the IV16/IV32 values in the TX
context. This first step makes sure that we don't
assign the same IV multiple times or get confused
in other ways.
Secondly, change the way the P1K cache works. I
add a field "p1k_iv32" that stores the value of
the IV32 when the P1K was last recomputed, and
if different from the last time, then a new P1K
is recomputed. This can cause the P1K computation
to flip back and forth if packets are processed
out of order. All this also happens under the new
spinlock.
Finally, because there are argument differences,
split up the ieee80211_get_tkip_key() API into
ieee80211_get_tkip_p1k() and ieee80211_get_tkip_p2k()
and give them the correct arguments.

We use priv->mutex to avoid race conditions between chswitch_done()
and mac_channel_switch(), when marking channel switch in
progress. But chswitch_done() can be called in atomic context
from rx_csa() or with mutex already taken from commit_rxon().
To fix remove mutex from chswitch_done() and use atomic bitops
for marking channel switch pending.

If after that correct tx power settings will not be sent to device,
we can observe transmission problems and timeouts. Force to send

We should not switch to non-IBSS channels when working in IBSS mode,
otherwise there are microcode errors, and after some time system
crashes.
This bug is only observable when software scan is used in IBSS mode,
so should be considered as regression after:

That commit claim that mac80211 will not use non-IBSS channel in IBSS

mac80211, but that will require more work, so better to apply that patch
temporally, and provide proper mac80211 fix latter.

We mark command as huge by using meta->flags from other (non huge) command,
but flags can be possibly overridden, when non huge command is enqueued,
what can lead to:
WARNING: at lib/dma-debug.c:696 dma_debug_device_change+0x1a3/0x1f0()
DMA-API: device driver has pending DMA allocations while released from device [count=1]
To fix introduce additional CMD_MAPPED to mark command as mapped and
serialize iwl_enqueue_hcmd() with iwl_tx_cmd_complete() using
hcmd_lock. Serialization will also fix possible race conditions,
because q->read_ptr, q->write_ptr are modified/used in parallel.
