This fixes an incorrect assumption (BUG_ON) made in
cfg80211 when handling country IE regulatory requests.
The assumption was that we won't try to call_crda()
twice for the same event and therefore we will not
recieve two replies through nl80211 for the regulatory
request. As it turns out it is true we don't call_crda()
twice for the same event, however, kobject_uevent_env()
*might* send the udev event twice and/or userspace can
simply process the udev event twice. We remove the BUG_ON()
and simply ignore the duplicate request.

NETDEV_UP is called after the device is set UP, but sometimes
it is useful to be able to veto the device UP. Introduce a
new NETDEV_PRE_UP notifier that can be used for exactly this.
The first use case will be cfg80211 denying interfaces to be
set UP if the device is known to be rfkill'ed.

When the SME requests to associate to an open AP
ieee80211_sta_set_extra_ie() can be called with zero IE
length. When this happens or when the extra IE has already
been set -EALREADY is passed down and the supplicant will
complain that the operation is already in progress and it will
not let us associate. We correct this by treating -EALREADY
from ieee80211_sta_set_extra_ie() as a success just as we do
for wext.

instead require a valid AID (1-2007) to be passed in from

This patch fixes a bug which unconfigured struct tcf_proto keeps
chaining in tc_ctl_tfilter(), and avoids kernel panic in
cls_cgroup_classify() when we use cls_cgroup.
When we execute 'tc filter add', tcf_proto is allocated, initialized
by classifier's init(), and chained. After it's chained,
tc_ctl_tfilter() calls classifier's change(). When classifier's
change() fails, tc_ctl_tfilter() does not free and keeps tcf_proto.
In addition, cls_cgroup is initialized in change() not in init(). It
accesses unconfigured struct tcf_proto which is chained before
change(), then hits Oops.

After some discussion offline with Christoph Lameter and David Stevens
regarding multicast behaviour in Linux, I'm submitting a slightly
modified patch from the one Christoph submitted earlier.
This patch provides a new socket option IP_MULTICAST_ALL.
In this case, default behaviour is _unchanged_ from the current
Linux standard. The socket option is set by default to provide
original behaviour. Sockets wishing to receive data only from
multicast groups they join explicitly will need to clear this
socket option.

This patch converts unicast address list to standard list_head using
previously introduced struct netdev_hw_addr. It also relaxes the
locking. Original spinlock (still used for multicast addresses) is not
needed and is no longer used for a protection of this list. All
reading and writing takes place under rtnl (with no changes).
I also removed a possibility to specify the length of the address
while adding or deleting unicast address. It's always dev->addr_len.
The convertion touched especially e1000 and ixgbe codes when the
change is not so trivial.

Somewhat luckily, I was looking into these parts with very fine
comb because I've made somewhat similar changes on the same
area (conflicts that arose weren't that lucky though). The loop
was very much overengineered recently in commit 915219441d
(tcp: Use SKB queue and list helpers instead of doing it
by-hand), while it basically just wants to know if there are
skbs after 'skb'.
Also it got broken because skb1 = skb->next got translated into
skb1 = skb1->next (though abstracted) improperly. Note that
'skb1' is pointing to previous sk_buff than skb or NULL if at
head. Two things went wrong:
- We'll kfree 'skb' on the first iteration instead of the
skbuff following 'skb' (it would require required SACK reneging
to recover I think).
- The list head case where 'skb1' is NULL is checked too early
and the loop won't execute whereas it previously did.
Conclusion, mostly revert the recent changes which makes the
cset very messy looking but using proper accessor in the
previous-like version.
The effective changes against the original can be viewed with:

Currently skb_gro_header is used for packets which put the hardware
header in skb->data with the rest in frags. Since the drivers that
need this optimisation all provide completely non-linear packets,
we can gain extra optimisations by only performing the frag0
optimisation for completely non-linear packets.
In particular, we can simply test frag0 (instead of skb_headlen)
to see whether the optimisation is in force.
