cfg80211: comprehensively check station changes
The station change API isn't being checked properly before drivers are called, and as a result it is difficult to see what should be allowed and what not. In order to comprehensively check the API parameters parse everything first, and then have the driver call a function (cfg80211_check_station_change()) with the additionally information about the kind of station that is being changed; this allows the function to make better decisions than the old code could. While at it, also add a few checks, particularly in mesh and clarify the TDLS station lifetime in documentation. To be able to reduce a few checks, ignore any flag set bits when the mask isn't set, they shouldn't be applied then. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
