This flag is annoying because it puts a lot of logic into mac80211
that could just as well be in the driver (only iwlmvm uses it) and
the implementation is also broken for MLO.
Remove the flag in favour of calling drv_mgd_prepare_tx() without
any conditions even for the deauth-while-assoc case. The drivers
that implement it can take the appropriate actions, which for the
only user of DEAUTH_NEED_MGD_TX_PREP (iwlmvm) is a bit more tricky
than the implementation in mac80211 is anyway, and all others have
no need and can just exit if info->was_assoc is set.

PLDR (product level device reset) is a Windows term, and
is something the driver triggers there, AFAICT.
Really what 'pldr_sync' here wants to capture is whether
or not the firmware will/may do a product reset during
initialization, which makes the device drop off the bus,
requiring a rescan. If this is the case, obviously the
init will fail/time out, so we don't want to report all
kinds of errors etc., hence this tracking variable.
Rename it to 'fw_product_reset' to capture the meaning
better.

The move of the scan complete notification handling to the wiphy worker
introduced a race between scan complete notification and scan abort:
- The wiphy lock is held, e.g., for rfkill handling etc.
- Scan complete notification is received but not handled yet.
- Scan abort is triggered, and scan abort is sent to the FW. Once the
scan abort command is sent successfully, the flow synchronously waits
for the scan complete notification. However, as the scan complete
notification was already received but not processed yet, this hangs for
a second and continues leaving the scan status in an inconsistent
state.
- Once scan complete handling is started (when the wiphy lock is not held)
since the scan status is not an inconsistent state, a warning is issued
and the scan complete notification is not handled.
To fix this issue, switch back the scan complete notification to be
asynchronously handling, and only move the link selection logic to
a worker (which was the original reason for the move to use wiphy lock).
While at it, refactor some prints to improve debug data.

When there's an active link in a non-station vif, the station vif is
not allowed to enter EMLSR
Note that blocking EMLSR by calling iwl_mvm_block_esr() we will schedule
an exit from EMLSR worker, but the worker cannot run before the
activation of the non-BSS link, as ieee80211_remain_on_channel already
holds the wiphy mutex.
Handle that by explicitly calling ieee80211_set_active_links()
to leave EMLSR, and then doing iwl_mvm_block_esr() only for
consistency and to avoid re-entering it before ready.
Note that a call to ieee80211_set_active_links requires to release the
mvm mutex, but that's ok since we still hold the wiphy lock. The only
thing that might race here is the ESR_MODE_NOTIF, so this changes its
handler to run under the wiphy lock.

If the reason for exiting EMLSR was a blocking reason, wait for the
corresponding unblocking event:
- if there is an ongoing scan - do nothing. Link selection will be
triggered at the end of it.
- If more than 30 seconds passed since the exit, trigger MLO scan, which
will trigger link selection
- If less then 30 seconds passed since exit, reuse the latest link
selection result
If the reason for exiting EMLSR was an exit reason (IWL_MVM_EXIT_*),
schedule MLO scan in 30 seconds.

BT Coex disables EMLSR only for a 2.4 GHz link, but doesn't block the
vif from using EMLSR with a different link pair. In addition, storing it
in mvmvif:disable_esr_reason requires extracting the BT Coex bit before
checking if EMLSR is blocked or not for a specific vif.
Therefore, change the BT Coex bit to be an exit reason and not a
blocker. On link selection, EMLSR mode will be re-calculated for the 2.4
GHz link instead of checking that bit.
While at it, move the relevant function declarations to the EMLSR
functions area in mvm.h

mac80211 invokes the driver callback drv_can_activate_links() from
ieee80211_set_active_links to verify it can activate the desired link
combination.
However, ieee80211_set_active_links is called with more than one link in
2 cases:
- After driver's link selection decided to enter EMLSR
- From debugfs, for testing purposes.
For both cases there is no need to recompute all the considerations
determining whether to activate EMLSR.
Instead, only check if the vif is not blocked for EMLSR.

Address scenarios where repeated entry and exit from EMLSR occur, such as
encountering missed beacons on a specific link,
while still discovering that link during a scan.
To mitigate this, introduce the EMLSR prevention mechanism, which operates
as follows:
- On each exit from EMLSR event, record the timestamp and the exit
reason.
- If two consecutive exits happen for the same reason within a
400-second window, enforce a 300-second EMLSR prevention.
- If a third exit for the same reason occurs within 400 seconds from the
second exit, enforce an extended EMLSR prevention of 600 seconds.

There are reasons for which we need to exit EMLSR, but not to block it
completely, and there are reasons for which we need to block EMLSR.
For both reason types we have the enum iwl_mvm_esr_state, when the
blocking reasons are stored in the `mvmvif::esr_disable_reason` bitmap.
This change introduces the APIs to use in the different cases:
- iwl_mvm_exit_esr - will exit from EMLSR mode.
- iwl_mvm_block_esr - will update the bitmap and exit EMLSR, to
be used for the blocking reasons only.
- iwl_mvm_unblock_esr - will update the bitmap. To be used for the
blocking reasons only.

Replaces the current logic with a new algorithm based on the link
grading introduced in a previous patch.
The new selection algorithm will be invoked upon successful scan to ensure
it has the necessary updated data it needs.
This update delegates the selection logic as the primary link
determiner in EMLSR mode, storing it in mvmvif to avoid repeated
calculations, as the result may vary.
Additionally, includes tests for iwl_mvm_valid_link_pair to validate
link pairs for EMLSR.

2.4 GHz/LB (low band) link can't be used in an EMLSR links pair when
BT is on. But EMLSR is still allowed for a pair of links which none of
them operates in LB.
In the existing code, EMLSR will always be disabled if one of the
usable links is in LB (and BT is on).
Move this check to the code that verifies a specific pair of links,
and only if one of these links operates on LB - disable EMLSR.

The function iwl_mvm_can_enter_esr() is (among others) calculating
if EMLSR mode is disabled due to BT coex by calling
iwl_mvm_bt_coex_calculate_esr_mode(), then stores the decision in
mvmvif::esr_disable_reason.
But there is no need to calculate this every time iwl_mvm_can_enter_esr
is called. Fix this by calculating it once after authorization,
and in iwl_mvm_can_enter_esr only check mvmvif::esr_disable_reason.

For selecting what link(s) out of the usable ones
to activate, calculate a grade for a given link.
Calculation of a link grade is done as follows:
1. get the estimated throughput according to the RSSI of the link, this
will be the base grade
2. get the channel load from the BSS Load Element, subtracting the load
caused by us. Apply the factor on the grade.
3. puncturing factor: calculate the percentage of the punctured
subchannels (out of the total subchannels). Apply this on the grade.
The link grading will be used by the link selection mechanism in a later
patch.
Also add KUnit tests for it.

For now, we have a single reason: BT coexistence, but we will add soon
more reasons. Make it a bitmap to make it easier to manage.
Since we'll impact the parameters that impact the enablement /
disablement of EMLSR from several places, introduce a generic function
that takes into account the current state and execute the decision that
must be taken.
