cfg80211: Add antenna availability information

Add a field to wiphy for the hardware to report the availble antennas for
configuration. Only if this is set to something bigger than zero, will the
anntenna configuration ops be executed.

Allthough this could be a simple number of antennas, I defined it as a bitmap
of antennas which are available for configuration, since it's more consistent
with the rest of the antenna API and there could be cases where the
hardware allows only configuration of certain antennas. As it does not make
much of a difference in size or normal usage, I think it's better to be able to
support this, in case the need arises.

The antenna configuration is now also checked against the availabe antennas and
rejected if it does not match.

ath9k: fix assumptions for idle calls on suspend/resume

mac80211 will notify drivers when to go idle and ath9k
assumed that it would get further notifications for idle
states after a device stop() config call but as per agreed
semantics the idle state of the radio is left up to driver
after mac80211 issues the stop() callback. The driver is
resposnbile for ensuring the device remains idle after
that even between suspend / resume calls.

This fixes suspend/resume when you issue suspend and resume
twice on ath9k when ath9k_stop() was already called. We need
to put the radio to full sleep in order for resume to work
correctly.

What might seem fishy is we are turning the radio off
after resume. The reason why we do this is because we know
we should not have anything enabled after a mac80211 tells
us to stop(), if we resume and never get a start() we won't
get another stop() by mac80211 so to be safe always bring
the 802.11 device with the radio disabled after resume,
this ensures that if we suspend we already have the radio
disabled and only a start() will ever trigger it on.

ath9k: Fix power save count imbalance on ath_radio_enable()

Upon a failure we never call ath9k_ps_restore() on ath_radio_enable(),
this will throw off the sc->ps_usecount. When the sc->ps_usecount
is > 0 we never put the chip to full sleep. This drains battery,
and will also make the chip fail upon resume with:

ath: Starting driver with initial channel: 5745 MHz
ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0x7000: 0xdeadbeef & 0x00000003 != 0x00000000

This would make the chip useless upon resume.

I cannot prove this can happen but in theory it is so best to
avoid this race completely and not have users complain about
a broken device after resume.

It also prevents wpa_supplicant from getting scan results, as

Fix this by making a local copy of shared skbs prior to mangeling them.
To avoid copying the skb unnecessarily move the skb_copy call below the
checks that don't need write access to the skb.

Also, move the assignment of nh_pos and h_pos below the skb_copy to point
to the correct skb.

It would be possible to avoid another resize of the copied skb by using
skb_copy_expand instead of skb_copy but that would make the patch more
complex. Also, shared skbs are a corner case right now, so the resize
shouldn't matter much.

The last_tx_rate field was also updated for non-data frames that are
often sent with a lower rate (for example management frames at 1 Mbps).
This is confusing when the data rate is actually much higher.

Hence, only update the last_tx_rate field with tx rate information
gathered from last data frames.

If the rate control algorithm filled in txrc.reported_rate we don't need
to verify this information.
