Beacon RSSI is only meaningful in station mode - in ad-hoc mode it
fluctuates, depending on which peer last sent a beacon, and in other
modes it is not set at all.
Fix places in ANI where the beacon RSSI is used to limit their use
to station mode only.

Commit "ath9k_hw: improve ANI processing and rx desensitizing parameters"
was unifying some code related to overriding OFDM weak signal detection,
but seems to have gotten some of the original intent wrong, probably
because of a misnamed variable.
The beacon RSSI is only valid in station mode, and the main reason to check
it in ath9k_hw_set_ofdm_nil is to make sure that OFDM weak signal detection
stays enabled if the RSSI is low, even when the OFDM noise immunity entry
is supposed to disable it.
The above commit removed the mode checks and changed the code so that
OFDM weak signal detection would only be changed if the rssi is high, which
is wrong for everything but client mode.
This patch restores the old behavior in a simplified form.

If an AP is beaconing with different capabilities than the one we get
in the associate response, we were still using the capabilities
received in the beacons. One example is when the AP is beaconing with
the short slot bit set to zero and then we try to connect to it with
long slot. In this case, we would keep using long slot until the next
beacon was received.
Fix this by using the correct capability value when calling
ieee80211_handle_bss_capability(). We were using cbss->capability,
but we should use the bss_conf->assoc_capability instead.

Commit "cfg80211: provide channel to start_ap function" assumes that the
channel is always passed to the NL80211_CMD_START_AP command, however
in case of multi-BSSID, hostapd only passes the channel for the first vif.
This makes starting beaconing on secondary vifs fail with -EINVAL.

and picking the first AP vif's channel for secondary vifs if not provided.

Some compilers (eg. gcc 4.4.1 for ARM) report a false positive warning
in mlme.c:
net/mac80211/mlme.c: In function 'ieee80211_prep_connection':
net/mac80211/mlme.c:3035: warning: 'sta' may be used uninitialized in this function
This is a false positive because the place where 'sta' is used is
inside an if with the same condition of where it is set:
[...]
if (!have_sta) {
sta = sta_info_alloc(sdata, cbss->bssid, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!sta)
return -ENOMEM;
}
[...]
if (!have_sta) {
[...]
sta->sta.supp_rates[cbss->channel->band] = rates;
[...]
For some reason the compiler doesn't understand this and warns.
While this is not a problem in the code itself, we can avoid polluting
the build logs with false positives by setting sta to NULL on
declaration and checking for sta instead of !have_sta in the second if.

When the device is doing an internal radio reset
scan, ROC can be rejected to the supplicant with
busy status which confuses it.
One option would be to queue the ROC and handle
it later, but since the radio reset scan is very
quick we can just wait for it to finish instead.
Also add a warning since we shouldn't run into
the case of having a scan active when requesting
a ROC in any other case since mac80211 will not
scan while ROC or ROC while scanning.
