Summary

Some calls, e.g., action frames cause us to call through all the
way down to firmware from the RX path without any deferral in
net80211.

For LinuxKPI and iwlwifi this goes (with omissions) like this:
lkpi_napi_task -> linuxkpi_ieee80211_rx -> ieee80211_input_mimo ->
sta_input -> ht_recv_action_ba_addba_request ->
lkpi_ic_ampdu_rx_start -> iwl_mvm_mac_ampdu_action ->
iwl_trans_txq_send_hcmd. At that point we are waiting for an
interrupt from the firmware but given the lkpi_napi_task has not
finished (and may have more to dispatch based on budget and what
was received) we will not see thew new interrupt/fw response.
With no answer from the firmware, the software timeout in the
driver kills the command and the firmware and issues a complete
restart.

Implement the deferred RX path in LinuxKPI for the moment. If any
native drivers will hit this in the future we should carefully go
and see how to shift this into net80211.

This fixes the hangs for (*ic_ampdu_rx_start)() calls.

Notes:
(1) (*ic_ampdu_rx_start)() MO dowcalls in LinuxKPI need to unlock the ic lock and lock the LHW lock as done in the state machine updates given the MO calls can sleep.
(2) there may be further work on the node_cleanup -> ieee80211_ht_node_cleanup -> lkpi_ic_ampdu_rx_stop path needed if (1) is not sufficient
(3) A separate change ieee80211_sn_*() is to come.
(4) Need to go and see about packets and rates now likely as well as the RX packets after the BA response is out will not show up with 11n for me, but I can see the first packet (and retry) in monitor mode. I'd need a "sane" AP to test with.

honestly we should defer rx in net80211, it'd make a whole lot of packet handling w/ state transitions easier

Initial test shows this error when I changed the channel number in AP. Looks like a reproduce of PR 277100 without LKPI_80211_HW_CRYPTO enabled, or a separate issue?

Yes, looks likely same/similar than in the PR.

You've seen the comments (1)-(4) above?

Right, I understand. This fixes PR 276083. The notes (1)-(4) are remaining work to be done.

Tested and the timeout is gone.
