ath9k: assign keycache slots to unencrypted stations
Frame filtering relies on having a valid destination index (keycache slot),
to keep track of the destination. Assigning a keycache slot (configured
to unencrypted, with no key data attached) improves powersave handling in
AP mode with no encryption.
The dummy keycache entry for a station is cleared, when a real key gets
added.

ath9k: fix powersave frame filtering/buffering in AP mode
This patch fixes a long standing issue of pending packets in the queue being
sent (and retransmitted many times) to sleeping stations.
This was made worse by aggregation through driver-internal retransmitting
of A-MDPU subframes.
Previously the hardware tx filter was cleared unconditionally for every
single packet - with this patch it uses the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT
for unaggregated frames.
A sta_notify driver op is added to stop aggregation for stations when they
enter powersave mode. Subframes stay buffered inside the driver, to ensure
that the BlockAck window keeps a sane state.
Since the driver uses software aggregation, the clearing of the tx filter
needs to be handled by the driver instead of mac80211 for aggregated frames.

While leaving the oper channel, beacon generation is stopped
by mac80211 and beacon slots are marked as inactive.
During the scan, ath9k configures beacon timers
based on IEEE80211_CONF_OFFCHANNEL which inturn generates
beacon alert even though bslot is inactive.
ath9k fails to disable beacon alert while moving to offchannel
if none of the beacon slot is active. This is causing beacon
transmission on foreign channel. This patch enables swba
based on active bslots.
This issue was reported with two vifs (AP+STA) and triggered
scan in STA vif in unassociated state.

it.
This is necessary for properly handling aggregation related buffering,
