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.

The new link selection algorithm uses defaults values for BSS load if
the BSS Load element was not published by the AP.
For 6 GHz, that value is 0. So if the best link is 6 GHz, the EMLSR
grade to always be equal to the grade of the best link,
and then the best link grade is getting a bonus of 10 percent, meaning
that we will never activate EMLSR.
Change the logic to not give a bonus for the best link.

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

On older (pre-MLD API) devices, we started also calling
iwl_mvm_set_link_mapping()/iwl_mvm_unset_link_mapping(),
but of course not also iwl_mvm_remove_link(). Since the
link ID was only released in iwl_mvm_remove_link() this
causes us to run out of FW link IDs very quickly. Fix
it by releasing the link ID correctly.

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.

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.

From its very first stages of development, iwlmvm added all the PHY
context immediately upon firmware boot. Then, all we needed to do is to
modify the contexts. This was fine if the addition of a PHY context that
we don't need is free. This was true until now. Newer devices will run
calibrations upon the addition of a PHY context.
Change the way we work with PHY context in iwlmvm. Fortunately, we
already have all the ref counting in place so that it is not very hard
to do.
Also, since we now remove the PHY context before the link is removed
(but after it has been de-activated of course), it'll confuse the
firmware if we put the late phy_id into the LINK command that removes
the link. Change this to put an invalid phy_id just like we do when we
add a link that has no PHY context yet.

The LINK cmd host api has been updated. Align the driver to the
new changes. Also, temporary use mac_id for link_id.
Using the phy_id as the link_id is wrong since we might have 2 macs
operating on the same phy - in this case we will have 2 different
links (one for each mac) with the same link_id. On the other hand,
since we don't have MLO implemented yet, we won't have 2 different
links of the same mac. Therefore, we can use the mac_id as the
link_id.
