When associating to an AP, the station might miss the first EAP
packet that the AP sends due to a race condition between the association
success procedure and the rx flow in mac80211.
In such cases, the packet might fall in ieee80211_rx_h_check due to
the fact that the relevant rx->sta wasn't allocated yet.
Allocation of the relevant station info struct before actually
sending the association request and setting it with a new
dummy_sta flag solve this problem.
The station will accept only EAP packets from the AP while it
is in the pre-association/dummy state.
This dummy station entry is not seen by normal sta_info_get()
calls, only by sta_info_get_bss_rx().
The driver is not notified for the first insertion of the
dummy station. The driver is notified only after the association
is complete and the dummy flag is removed from the station entry.
That way, all the rest of the code flow should be untouched by
this change.

Divided the sta_info_insert_rcu function to 3 mini-functions:
sta_info_insert_check - the initial checks done when inserting
a new station
sta_info_insert_ibss - the function that handles the station
addition for IBSS interfaces
sta_info_insert_non_ibss - the function that handles the station
addition in other cases
The outer API was not changed.
The refactoring was done for better usage of the different
stages in the station addition in new scenarios added
in the next commit.

The Walsh bit is disabled for regulatory consideration.
FCC limit for walsh enable is lower than that for walsh disable. So
disabling walsh bit will not limit tx power/affect tx power even in
cases where we are not FCC limited (most client cards). If the tx
power is not FCC limited, then enabling/disabling walsh bit will
not affect Avg. EVM/overall performance in any visible manner.

In congested network, having all rate reties at MCS rates
is failing to transmit the frame offenly. By the time reaching
the success rate set, the application gets timed out. One such
scenario is that authentication time out during 4-Way handshake.
This patch uses a legacy rate as last retry sequnce for
unaggregated frames or if the first selected rate's PER is ~80%
of max limit. And also observed from the tx status that the frame
was trasmitted successfully by using legacy rates.
