wifi: wfx: implement wfx_remain_on_channel()

With some conditions, the device is able to send/receive frames during
scan operation. So, it is possible to use it implement the "remain on
channel" feature. We just ask for a passive scan (without sending any
probe request) on one channel.

This architecture allows to leverage some interesting features:
- if the device is AP, the device switches channel just after the next
beacon and the beacons are stopped during the off-channel interval.
- if the device is connected, it advertises it is asleep before to
switch channel (so the AP should stop to try to send data)

# 04106ec5 04-Oct-2023 Jérôme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@silabs.com>

wifi: wfx: scan_lock is global to the device

Currently, one scan_lock is associated to each vif. However, concurrent
scan on vifs is explicitly prohibited by the device. Currently,
scan_lock is associated with a vif but it is always locked with
conf_mutex (there is a case where conf_mutex is not associated to
scan_lock but scan_lock is tested on all interfaces). So concurrent scan
on vifs cannot happen.

So, this patch relocate scan_lock to the device and simplify the code.

wifi: wfx: Use devm_kmemdup to replace devm_kmalloc + memcpy

Use the helper function devm_kmemdup() rather than duplicating its
implementation, which helps to enhance code readability.

wifi: wfx: Remove some dead code

wait_for_completion_timeout() can not return a <0 value.
So simplify the logic and remove dead code.

-ERESTARTSYS can not be returned by do_wait_for_common() for tasks with
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, which is the case for wait_for_completion_timeout()

wifi: mac80211: add wake_tx_queue callback to drivers

mac80211 is fully switching over to the internal TX queue (iTXQ)
implementation. Update all drivers not yet providing the now mandatory
wake_tx_queue() callback.

As an side effect the netdev interfaces of all updated drivers will
switch to the noqueue qdisc.

wifi: wfx: prevent underflow in wfx_send_pds()

This does a "chunk_len - 4" subtraction later when it calls:

ret = wfx_hif_configuration(wdev, buf + 4, chunk_len - 4);

so check for "chunk_len" is less than 4.

Merge tag 'staging-5.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging

Pull staging driver updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of staging driver updates for 5.19-rc1.

Lots of forward progress happened this development cycle, one driver
(wfx wireless driver) got merged into the real portion of the kernel,
and another one (unisys) was removed as no one is around anymore to
take care of it and no one has the hardware. Combined with loads of
tiny driver cleanups overall we removed 13k lines of code from the
tree, a nice improvement.

Other than the wfx and unisys driver changes the major points of this
merge is:

- r8188eu driver cleanups. So many cleanups. It's amazing just how
many things have been cleaned up here, and yet, how many remain to
go. Lots of work happened here, and it doesn't look to slow down
any time soon.

- other wifi driver cleanups. Not as many as the r8188eu driver, but
still pretty impressive from a janitorial point of view.

- bcm2853 driver cleanups

- other very minor driver cleanups

All of these have been in the linux-next tree for weeks with no
reported issues"
