This fixes a bug when creating a new IBSS network with a
fixed BSSID. The fixed BSSID situation is now with one of
my last patches handled in ieee80211_sta_find_ibss()
function.
It's more robust to test against
(ifsta->flags & IEEE80211_STA_PREV_BSSID_SET), because
ifsta->state is not seted right in every situation and so
the creating of the new IBSS network sometimes hangs after
the first try to scan for a network to merge.

Currently, netlink_broadcast() reports errors to the caller if no
messages at all were delivered:
1) If, at least, one message has been delivered correctly, returns 0.
2) Otherwise, if no messages at all were delivered due to skb_clone()
failure, return -ENOBUFS.
3) Otherwise, if there are no listeners, return -ESRCH.
With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the
messages to the listeners have failed:
1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return
-ENOBUFS.
2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0.
3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH.
In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add
reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the
packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of
course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces
performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful
firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for
conntrackd) in return.
This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that
may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not
of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to
those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side
if they hit ENOBUFS.
BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call
cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they
internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.

The previous fix ad0f990444 (gro:

be rejected for GRO).

As it currently stands, skb destructors are forbidden on the
receive path because the protocol end-points will overwrite
any existing destructor with their own.
This is the reason why we have to call skb_orphan in the loopback
driver before we reinject the packet back into the stack, thus
creating a period during which loopback traffic isn't charged
to any socket.
With virtualisation, we have a similar problem in that traffic
is reinjected into the stack without being associated with any
socket entity, thus providing no natural congestion push-back
for those poor folks still stuck with UDP.
Now had we been consistent in telling them that UDP simply has
no congestion feedback, I could just fob them off. Unfortunately,
we appear to have gone to some length in catering for this on
the standard UDP path, with skb/socket accounting so that has
created a very unhealthy dependency.
Alas habits are difficult to break out of, so we may just have
to allow skb destructors on the receive path.
It turns out that making skb destructors useable on the receive path
isn't as easy as it seems. For instance, simply adding skb_orphan
to skb_set_owner_r isn't enough. This is because we assume all
over the IP stack that skb->sk is an IP socket if present.
The new transparent proxy code goes one step further and assumes
that skb->sk is the receiving socket if present.
Now all of this can be dealt with by adding simple checks such
as only treating skb->sk as an IP socket if skb->sk->sk_family
matches. However, it turns out that for bridging at least we
don't need to do all of this work.
This is of interest because most virtualisation setups use bridging
so we don't actually go through the IP stack on the host (with
the exception of our old nemesis the bridge netfilter, but that's
easily taken care of).
So this patch simply adds skb_orphan to the point just before we
enter the IP stack, but after we've gone through the bridge on the
receive path. It also adds an skb_orphan to the one place in
netfilter that touches skb->sk/skb->destructor, that is, tproxy.
One word of caution, because of the internal code structure, anyone
wishing to deploy this must use skb_set_owner_w as opposed to
skb_set_owner_r since many functions that create a new skb from
an existing one will invoke skb_set_owner_w on the new skb.

The definitions needed for the wimax stack and i2400m driver debug
infrastructure was, by mistake, compiled depending on CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
(by them being placed in the debugfs.c files); thus the build broke in
2.6.29-rc3 when debugging was enabled (CONFIG_WIMAX_DEBUG) and
DEBUG_FS was disabled.
These definitions are always needed if debug is enabled at compile
time (independently of DEBUG_FS being or not enabled), so moving them
to a file that is always compiled fixes the issue.
