When LED triggers are compiled in, but not used, mac80211 will still
call them to update the status. This isn't really a problem for the
assoc and radio ones, but the TX/RX (and to a certain extend TPT)
ones can be called very frequently (for every packet.)
In order to avoid that when they're not used, track their activation
and call the corresponding trigger (and in the TPT case, account for
throughput) only when the trigger is actually used by an LED.
Additionally, make those trigger functions inlines since theyre only
used once in the remaining code.

Change mac80211 LED trigger code to use the generic
led_trigger_blink_oneshot() API for transmit and receive activity
indication.
This gives a better feedback to the user, as with the new API each
activity event results in a visible blink, while a constant traffic
results in a continuous blink at constant rate.

The throughput LED trigger was always active when
the radio was enabled. In most cases that's likely
the desired behaviour, but iwlwifi requires it to
be only active when one of the virtual interfaces
is actually "connected" in some way.

iwlwifi and other drivers like to blink their LED
based on throughput. Implement this generically in
mac80211, based on a throughput table the driver
specifies. That way, drivers can set the blink
frequencies depending on their desired behaviour
and max throughput.
All the drivers need to do is provide an LED class
device, best with blink hardware offload.

The throughput trigger will require doing LED
classdev/trigger handling before register_hw(),
so drivers should have access to the trigger
names before it. If trigger registration fails,
this will still make the trigger name available,
but that's not a big problem since the default
trigger will the simply not be found.

This patch renames all mac80211 files (except ieee80211_i.h) to get rid
of the useless ieee80211_ prefix.
