cfg80211: sme: deauthenticate on assoc failure
introduced a potential NULL pointer dereference that
some people have been hitting for some reason -- the
params.bssid pointer is not guaranteed to be non-NULL
for what seems to be a race between various ways of
reaching the same thing.
While I'm trying to analyse the problem more let's
first fix the crash. I think the real fix may be to
avoid doing _anything_ if it ended up being NULL, but
right now I'm not sure yet.
I think
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14342
might also be this issue.

When the in-kernel SME gets an association failure from
the AP we don't deauthenticate, and thus get into a very
confused state which will lead to warnings later on. Fix
this by actually deauthenticating when the AP indicates
an association failure.

After m68k's task_thread_info() doesn't refer to current,
it's possible to remove sched.h from interrupt.h and not break m68k!

The move away from having drivers assign wireless handlers,
in favour of making cfg80211 assign them, broke the sysfs
registration (the wireless/ dir went missing) because the
handlers are now assigned only after registration, which is
too late.
Fix this by special-casing cfg80211-based devices, all
of which are required to have an ieee80211_ptr, in the
sysfs code, and also using get_wireless_stats() to have
the same values reported as in procfs.

The wireless extensions have a copy_from_user to a local stack
array "essid", but both me and gcc have failed to find where
the bounds for this copy are located in the code.
This patch adds some basic sanity checks for the copy length
to make sure that we don't overflow the stack buffer.

Multiple problems were reported due to interaction
between wpa_supplicant and the wext compat code in
cfg80211, which appear to be due to it not getting
any bss pointer here when wpa_supplicant sets all
parameters -- do that now. We should still get the
bss after doing an extra scan, but that appears to
increase the time we need for connecting enough to
sometimes cause timeouts.

When wpa_supplicant is used to connect to open networks,
it causes the wdev->wext.keys to point to key memory, but
that key memory is all empty. Only use privacy when there
is a default key to be used.

Currently, cfg80211's SIOCGIWAP implementation returns
the BSSID that the user set, even if the connection has
since been dropped due to other changes. It only should
return the current BSSID when actually connected.
Also do a small code cleanup.

When cfg80211 is instructed to connect, it always
uses the default WEP key for the privacy setting,
which clearly is wrong when using wpa_supplicant.
Don't overwrite the setting, and rely on it being
false when wpa_supplicant is not running, instead
set it to true when we have keys.

There's a check saying
/* we're good if we have both BSSID and channel */
if (wdev->conn->params.bssid && wdev->conn->params.channel) {
but that isn't true -- we need the BSS struct. This leads
to errors such as
Trying to associate with 00:1b:53:11:dc:40 (SSID='TEST' freq=2412 MHz)
ioctl[SIOCSIWFREQ]: No such file or directory
ioctl[SIOCSIWESSID]: No such file or directory
Association request to the driver failed
Associated with 00:1b:53:11:dc:40
in wpa_supplicant, as reported by Holger.
Instead, we really need to have the BSS struct, and if we
don't, then we need to initiate a scan for it. But we may
already have the BSS struct here, so hang on to it if we
do and scan if we don't.

WEXT's "struct iw_freq" can also be used to handle a channel. This patch now
uses cfg80211_wext_freq() instead of hand-converting the frequency. That
allows user-space to specify channels as well, like with SIOCSIWFREQ.
