There are few places at the begining of Tx/Rx paths where
tx_info/rx_info is not correctly initialized. This patch
takes care of it.

While sending null packet from driver we are passing NULL
tx_param pointer to indicate there are no more packets in queue.
PCIe send routine assumes caller has done sanity check on
tx_param and may cause crash while dereferencing next_pkt_len
from tx_param.
Avoid this by passing tx_param structure with next_pkt_len as
zero instead of NULL pointer.

This patch adds support for TDLS management frames transmit
handler. mwifiex driver supports TDLS with external support,
i.e. expects user space application to form TDLS frames.
Same is advertised to cfg80211 during registration.

The skb is modified in sending the TX packet. Save the original
packet length to a variable so that we can get the correct
statistics update.

Current implementation, for retrieving priv from adapter,
uses bss_index. In multi interface environment supporting
different types, bss_index may not be unique.
Use bss_type along with bss_num to retrieve the priv.
bss_index is removed with this change.

In XMIT path, the skb that we get from the kernel itself is not
aligned with 4-byte boundary on some embedded platforms.
Had it not been the presence of tx_pkt_offset field in txpd, 4 byte
memory alignment was not possible without memmove of entire skb.
And that would have increased MIPS instead of reducing.
With this patch few memory cycles can be saved while fetching
interface header and txpd structure because of 4 bytes memory
alignment.

1) remove mwifiex_alloc_fill_wait_queue() and
mwifiex_request_ioctl()
2) avoid dynamic allocation of wait queue
3) remove unnecessary mwifiex_error_code macros that
were used mainly by the wait queue status code
4) remove some abstraction functions
5) split mwifiex_prepare_cmd() to mwifiex_send_cmd_async()
and mwifiex_send_sync() to handle asynchronous and
synchronous commands respectively
