wifi: mac80211: add helpers to access sband iftype data

There's quite a bit of code accessing sband iftype data
(HE, HE 6 GHz, EHT) and we always need to remember to use
the ieee80211_vif_type_p2p() helper. Add new helpers to
directly get it from the sband/vif rather than having to
call ieee80211_vif_type_p2p().

Convert most code with the following spatch:

wifi: cfg80211/mac80211: check EHT capability size correctly

For AP/non-AP the EHT MCS/NSS subfield size differs, the
4-octet subfield is only used for 20 MHz-only non-AP STA.
Pass an argument around everywhere to be able to parse it
properly.

wifi: mac80211: RCU-ify link STA pointers

We need to be able to access these in a race-free way under
traffic while adding/removing them, so RCU-ify the pointers.
This requires passing a link_sta to a lot of functions so
we don't have to do the RCU handling everywhere.

Make the channel context code MLO aware, along with some

MLD-clean and no longer uses deflink/bss_conf/etc.

mac80211: prepare sta handling for MLO support

Currently in mac80211 each STA object is represented
using sta_info datastructure with the associated
STA specific information and drivers access ieee80211_sta
part of it.

With MLO (Multi Link Operation) support being added
in 802.11be standard, though the association is logically
with a single Multi Link capable STA, at the physical level
communication can happen via different advertised
links (uniquely identified by Channel, operating class,
BSSID) and hence the need to handle multiple link
STA parameters within a composite sta_info object
called the MLD STA. The different link STA part of
MLD STA are identified using the link address which can
be same or different as the MLD STA address and unique
link id based on the link vif.

To support extension of such a model, the sta_info
datastructure is modified to hold multiple link STA
objects with link specific params currently within
sta_info moved to this new structure. Similarly this is
done for ieee80211_sta as well which will be accessed
within mac80211 as well as by drivers, hence trivial
driver changes are expected to support this.

For current non MLO supported drivers, only one link STA
is present and link information is accessed via 'deflink'
member.

For MLO drivers, we still need to define the APIs etc. to
get the correct link ID and access the correct part of
the station info.

Currently in mac80211, all link STA info are accessed directly
via deflink. These will be updated to access via link pointers
indexed by link id with MLO support patches, with link id
being 0 for non MLO supported cases.

Except for couple of macro related changes, below spatch takes
care of updating mac80211 and driver code to access to the
link STA info via deflink.
