[PATCH v1 0/6] nl80211: Process RTM event per bss

[oleksandr.savchenko at celeno.com]

From: Alexander Savchenko <oleksandr.savchenko at celeno.com>

These patch series for nl80211 driver add processing
RTM event for each bss, not only for first.
Add ability for updating bss ifindex.
Add test ap_multi_bss_restart for test case
`ifconfig down/up non-main-bss`

Description:
commit 106fa1e97 "nl80211: Indicate interface-down event only for the
main netdev" removes RTM event processing for non-main iface
due to RTM events for non-main iface lead to main iface is
disabled. But impact this commit leads RTM events for non-main iface has been
ignored. Such behavior breaks Virtual AP mode in next test cases:
 - after perform ifconfig down/up non-main iface, link of appropriate
   iface leaves in NO-CARRIER state;
 - after device_reprobe when ifindexes are changed, hostapd unables to
   update ifindexes of non-main ifaces by ifaces names.

Propose to fix it by replacing the processing of RTM events
from per global drv to per bss.
