Adrian Chadd 22a3aee637 Implement my first cut at "correct" node power-save and
PS-POLL support.

This implements PS-POLL awareness i nthe

* Implement frame "leaking", which allows for a software queue
  to be scheduled even though it's asleep
* Track whether a frame has been leaked or not
* Leak out a single non-AMPDU frame when transmitting aggregates
* Queue BAR frames if the node is asleep
* Direct-dispatch the rest of control and management frames.
  This allows for things like re-association to occur (which involves
  sending probe req/resp as well as assoc request/response) when
  the node is asleep and then tries reassociating.
* Limit how many frames can set in the software node queue whilst
  the node is asleep.  net80211 is already buffering frames for us
  so this is mostly just paranoia.
* Add a PS-POLL method which leaks out a frame if there's something
  in the software queue, else it calls net80211's ps-poll routine.
  Since the ath PS-POLL routine marks the node as having a single frame
  to leak, either a software queued frame would leak, OR the next queued
  frame would leak. The next queued frame could be something from the
  net80211 power save queue, OR it could be a NULL frame from net80211.

TODO:

* Don't transmit further BAR frames (eg via a timeout) if the node is
  currently asleep.  Otherwise we may end up exhausting management frames
  due to the lots of queued BAR frames.

  I may just undo this bit later on and direct-dispatch BAR frames
  even if the node is asleep.

* It would be nice to burst out a single A-MPDU frame if both ends
  support this.  I may end adding a FreeBSD IE soon to negotiate
  this power save behaviour.

* I should make STAs timeout of power save mode if they've been in power
  save for more than a handful of seconds.  This way cards that get
  "stuck" in power save mode don't stay there for the "inactivity" timeout
  in net80211.

* Move the queue depth check into the driver layer (ath_start / ath_transmit)
  rather than doing it in the TX path.

* There could be some naughty corner cases with ps-poll leaking.
  Specifically, if net80211 generates a NULL data frame whilst another
  transmitter sends a normal data frame out net80211 output / transmit,
  we need to ensure that the NULL data frame goes out first.
  This is one of those things that should occur inside the VAP/ic TX lock.
  Grr, more investigations to do..

Tested:

* STA: AR5416, AR9280
* AP: AR5416, AR9280, AR9160
