    mac80211: make station management completely depend on vif · abe60632

    The station management currently uses the virtual
    interface, but you cannot add the same station to
    multiple virtual interfaces if you're communicating
    with it in multiple ways.
    
    This restriction should be lifted so that in the
    future we can, for instance, support bluetooth 3
    with an access point that mac80211 is already
    associated to.
    
    We can do that by requiring all sta_info_get users
    to provide the virtual interface and making the RX
    code aware that an address may match more than one
    station struct. Thanks to the previous patches this
    one isn't all that large and except for the RX and
    TX status paths changes has low complexity.
