mac802154: Handle passive scanning

Implement the core hooks in order to provide the softMAC layer support
for passive scans. Scans are requested by the user and can be aborted.

Changing channels manually is prohibited during scans.

The implementation uses a workqueue triggered at a certain interval
depending on the symbol duration for the current channel and the
duration order provided. More advanced drivers with internal scheduling
capabilities might require additional care but there is none mainline
yet.

Received beacons during a passive scan are processed in a work queue and
their result forwarded to the upper layer.

Active scanning is not supported yet.

ieee802154: Add support for user scanning requests

The ieee802154 layer should be able to scan a set of channels in order
to look for beacons advertizing PANs. Supporting this involves adding
two user commands: triggering scans and aborting scans. The user should
also be notified when a new beacon is received and also upon scan
termination.

A scan request structure is created to list the requirements and to be
accessed asynchronously when changing channels or receiving beacons.

Mac layers may now implement the ->trigger_scan() and ->abort_scan()
hooks.

mac802154: Introduce filtering levels

The 802154 specification details several filtering levels in which the
PHY and the MAC could be. The amount of filtering will vary if they are
in promiscuous mode or in scanning mode. Otherwise they are expected to
do some very basic checks, such as enforcing the frame validity. Either
the PHY is able to do so, and the MAC has nothing to do, or the PHY has
a lower filtering level than expected and the MAC should take over.

For now we just define these levels in an enumeration.

In a second time, we will add a per-PHY parameter showing the expected
filtering level as well as a per device current filtering level, and
will initialize all these fields.

In a third time, we will use them to apply more filtering by software
when the PHY is limited.

Indeed, if the drivers know they cannot reach the requested level of
filtering, they will overwrite the "current filtering" parameter so that
it reflects what they do. Then, in the core, the expected filtering
level will be used to decide whether some additional software processing
is needed or not.

ieee802154: change needed headroom/tailroom

This patch cleanups needed_headroom, needed_tailroom and hard_header_len
fields for wpan and lowpan interfaces.

For wpan interfaces the worst case mac header len should be part of
needed_headroom, currently this is set as hard_header_len, but
hard_header_len should be set to the minimum header length which xmit
call assumes and this is the minimum frame length of 802.15.4.
The hard_header_len value will check inside send callbacl of AF_PACKET
raw sockets.

For lowpan interfaces, if fragmentation isn't needed the skb will
call dev_hard_header for 802154 layer and queue it afterwards. This
happens without new skb allocation, so we need the same headroom and
tailroom lengths like 802154 inside 802154 6lowpan layer. At least we
assume as minimum header length an ipv6 header size.

ieee802154: Fix generation of random EUI-64 addresses.

Currently, ieee802154_random_extended_addr() has a 50% chance of
generating a group (multicast) address, while this function is used
for generating station addresses (which can't be group addresses)
for interfaces that don't have a hardware-provided address.

Also, in case get_random_bytes() generates the EUI-64 address
00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00 (extremely unlikely), which is an invalid
address, ieee802154_random_extended_addr() reacts by changing it
to 01:00:00:00:00:00:00:00, which is an invalid station address as
well, as it is a group address.

This patch changes the address generation procedure to grab eight
random bytes, treat that as an EUI-64, and then clear the Group
address bit and set the Locally Administered bit, which is in
line with how eth_random_addr() generates random EUI-48s.

mac802154: add interframe spacing time handling

This patch adds a new interframe spacing time handling into mac802154
layer. Interframe spacing time is a time period between each transmit.
This patch adds a high resolution timer into mac802154 and starts on
xmit complete with corresponding interframe spacing expire time if
ifs_handling is true. We make it variable because it depends if
interframe spacing time is handled by transceiver or mac802154. At the
timer complete function we wake the netdev queue again. This avoids
new frame transmit in range of interframe spacing time.

For synced driver we add no handling of interframe spacing time. This
is currently a lack of support in all synced xmit drivers. I suppose
it's working because the latency of workqueue which is needed to call
spi_sync.
