This patch fixes a bug in checking for HT40 mode.
The STA's mode can be determined from the cached HT capabilities,
use that and remove the redundant variable 'rc_phy_mode'.

AP mode currently sets up the dual stream capability
for all stations. This patch fixes it by checking if the
associated station supports dual stream MCS rates (8-15).
We would disregard any MCS rates above 15, since Atheros
HW supports only 0..15 rates currently, and can't receive
at rates > 15 anyway.

This is the initial step in allowing ath9k to register multiple
virtual radios (wiphys). The goal of virtual radios is to allow the
same radio to be shared for multiple virtual interfaces that may
operate on different channels. The mac80211 virtual interface support
is designed only for single channel operation and as such, it is not
suitable for this type of use. Anyway, it can be used on top of the
virtual radio concept, if desired (e.g., use two virtual radios to
handle two channels and then add multiple mac80211 virtual interfaces
on top of each virtual radio).
The new struct ath_wiphy is now registered as the driver data
structure for wiphy. This structure has a pointer to the shared (among
virtual wiphys of the same physical radio) struct ath_softc data. The
primary wiphy maintains the allocated memory for ath_softc. Secondary
(virtual) wiphys will only allocate the new ath_wiphy structure.
Registration of secondary wiphys is added in a separate patch.

Some APs don't start BA negotiation with the client before it is done
with the key handshake in WPA/RSN. With those APs, key handshake times
out if EAPOL frames are sent after addba request. So defer the BA negotiation
until we are done with tx/rx of all EAPOL frames.

mac80211 notifies the RC algorithm if RTS/CTS and short preamble
are needed. The RC flags for MCS rates are currently not handled
by mac80211, and ath9k's RC doesn't set the flags either. Fix this.
Also, set the rts_cts_rate_idx inside the RC algorithm.
