rtlwifi: Replace RT_TRACE with rtl_dbg

The macro name RT_TRACE makes it seem that it is used for tracing, when
is actually used for debugging. Change the name to rtl_dbg. Any Sparse
errors exposed by this change were also fixed.

rtlwifi: Remove unnecessary NULL check in rtl_regd_init

When building with Clang + -Wtautological-pointer-compare:

drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/regd.c:389:33: warning: comparison
of address of 'rtlpriv->regd' equal to a null pointer is always false
[-Wtautological-pointer-compare]
if (wiphy == NULL || &rtlpriv->regd == NULL)
~~~~~~~~~^~~~ ~~~~
1 warning generated.

The address of an array member is never NULL unless it is the first
struct member so remove the unnecessary check. This was addressed in
the staging version of the driver in commit f986978b32b3 ("Staging:
rtlwifi: remove unnecessary NULL check").

While we are here, fix the following checkpatch warning:

CHECK: Comparison to NULL could be written "!wiphy"

+ if (wiphy == NULL)

rtlwifi: Fix missing country code for Great Britain

Some RTL8821AE devices sold in Great Britain have the country code of
0x25 encoded in their EEPROM. This value is not tested in the routine
that establishes the regulatory info for the chip. The fix is to set
this code to have the same capabilities as the EU countries. In addition,
the channels allowed for COUNTRY_CODE_ETSI were more properly suited
for China and Israel, not the EU. This problem has also been fixed.

cfg80211: remove enum ieee80211_band

This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and
the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of
it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of
bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one.

rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix 5G failure when EEPROM is incorrectly encoded

Recently, it has been reported that D-Link DWA-582 cards, which use an
RTL8812AE chip are not able to scan for 5G networks. The problems started
with kernel 4.2, which is the first version that had commit d10101a60372
("rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix problem with regulatory information"). With this
patch, the driver went from setting a default channel plan to using
the value derived from EEPROM.

Bug reports at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111031 and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1279653 are examples of this
problem.

The problem was solved once I learned that the internal country code was
resulting in a regulatory set with only 2.4 GHz channels. With the RTL8821AE
chips available to me, the country code was such that both 2.4 and 5 GHz
channels are allowed. The fix is to allow both bands even when the EEPROM
is incorrectly encoded.

rtlwifi: rtl818x: Move drivers into new realtek directory

Now that a new mac80211-based driver for Realtek devices has been submitted,
it is time to reorganize the directories. Rather than having directories
rtlwifi and rtl818x be in drivers/net/wireless/, they will now be in
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/. This change simplifies the directory
structure, but does not result in any configuration changes that are
visable to the user.
