The A-MSDU must be smaller than the Transmit FIFO in the
device. Since the size of the TXF can change depending
on the device / firmware compilation mode, take the size
of the FIFO dynamically from the what the firmware tells us.

Now that PCIe knows how to create A-MSDUs, use this
capability and prepare SKBs that are large enough to
build an A-MSDU.
Advertise TSO support towards the network stack and
segment the packet with gso_size set to be the maximal
A-MSDU length (after having taken the headers to be added
into account) to make sure that the skb that is passed
down to the transport are not longer than the maximal
A-MSDU allowed.

These are a few fixes for the current cycle.
3 out of the 5 patches fix a bugzilla.
* fix a race that users reported when we try to load the firmware
and the hardware rfkill interrupt triggers at the same time.
* Luca fixes a very visible bug in scheduled scan: our firmware
doesn't support scheduled scan with no profile configured and
the supplicant sometimes requests such scheduled scans.
* build system fix
* firmware name update for 8265
* typo fix in return value
If protocol offloading is configured, the fw might generate some
frames (e.g. arp response) on its own during d3/d0i3.
On d3/d0i3 exit the driver queries the updated PN (if relevant),
and updates its keys (for the d0i3 case, this is done by
iwl_mvm_d0i3_exit_work(), which is scheduled on d0i3 exit)
While in d0i3, iwlmvm defers tx frames until d0i3 exit, and
then continues their processing.
This is problematic with TKIP, since the frame's PN has already
been set at this stage (in contrast to CCMP, where the PN is
being set only later on), so both the frame's PN and the upcoming
PN update (from d0i3 exit work) might be wrong.
Fix it by moving the TX PN assignment (for TKIP) to the driver,
similarly to CCMP.

Until this patch, when TXing non-sta the pending_frames counter
wasn't increased, but it WAS decreased in
iwl_mvm_rx_tx_cmd_single(), what makes it negative in certain
conditions. This in turn caused much trouble when we need to
remove the station since we won't be waiting forever until
pending_frames gets 0. In certain cases, we were exhausting
the station table even in BSS mode, because we had a lot of
stale stations.
Increase the counter also in iwl_mvm_tx_skb_non_sta() after a
successful TX to avoid this outcome.

FW behaviour changed and now updates driver about the used TPC
reduction in the following cases:
1. In tx response, which is used mostly for a single frame case
2. In BA notification
When tx aggregation fails with the initial rate, FW will send
to the driver BA notification and will try to transmit with the
next rate, but this time without tx power reduction. Thus, in case
of a failure with the initial rate, driver will get two BA notifications,
the first one with reduced tx power as in the LQ command and the second
one with 0 power reduction.
This patch adapts the TPC statistics according to the description above:
1. Use BA notifications instead of Tx response
2. For TPC only, drop the optimization which considers empty BA as one
MPDU. The reason is that with TPC we want to recover very quickly from
a bad power reduction and, therefore we'd like the success ratio to get
an immediate hit when failing to get a BA, so we'd switch back to a
lower or zero power reduction

When we have holes in the BA window, there might be frames
that have been ACKed between the read and the right
pointers. This means that these frames won't be scheduled
again by the SCD and the firwmare won't see them.
This invalidates the number of frames we tell the firmware
to send. When we detect this case, tell mac80211 to close
the SP and to send an EOSP so that the firmware can be in
sync.
