Misc cleanups all over the place, mainly wrt /proc interfaces (switch
create_proc_entry to proc_create(), get rid of the deprecated
create_proc_read_entry() in favor of using proc_create_data() and
seq_file etc).
7kloc removed.

Rotate bss prio list, so the bss next to the one served, will come first
in the list of bss' with equal priority. This way we pick bss nodes in a
round robin fashion. Using list rotation instead of a cur ptr simplifies
iteration to calling list_for_each_entry. List rotation is done via
list_move, where the head itself is temporarily removed and then
re-inserted after the bss just served.

The RX fifo can be accessed from the common tasklet or it can
be reaped/cleaned when RX is stopped, which is done when doing
a reset or channel change - this happens in process context.
Since it is ensured that there are no pending tasklets when
stopping RX and cleaning the FIFO, there is no need to use
SKB queue functions which take internal locks.
