[ Upstream commit 550fd08c2cebad61c548def135f67aba284c6162 ]

After the last patch, We are left in a state in which only drivers calling
ether_setup have IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING set (we assume that drivers touching real
hardware call ether_setup for their net_devices and don't hold any state in
their skbs.  There are a handful of drivers that violate this assumption of
course, and need to be fixed up.  This patch identifies those drivers, and marks
them as not being able to support the safe transmission of skbs by clearning the
IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING flag in priv_flags

<content type='text'>
Force dev_alloc_name() to be called from register_netdevice() by
dev_get_valid_name(). That allows to remove multiple explicit
dev_alloc_name() calls.

The possibility to call dev_alloc_name in advance remains.

This also fixes veth creation regresion caused by

<content type='text'>
pcmcia_request_irq() and pcmcia_enable_device() are intended
to be called from process context (first function allocate memory
with GFP_KERNEL, second take a mutex). We can not take spin lock
and call them.

It's safe to move spin lock after pcmcia_enable_device() as we
still hold off IRQ until dev-&gt;base_addr is 0 and driver will
not proceed with interrupts when is not ready.

<content type='text'>
Fix runtime warning with backtrace from hostap by removing
netif_stop_queue() call before register_netdev. Tested to work fine on
hostap_pci Prism 2.5.

(This removes a warning about calling netif_stop_queue before
register_netdev is called. -- JWL)

<title>hostap: don't use flush_scheduled_work()</title>

flush_scheduled_work() is on its way out.  Drop flush_scheduled_work()
from prism2_free_local_data() and replace it with explicit flushing of
work items on the respective free functions.  Work items in ap_data
are flushed from hostap_free_data() and the ones in local_info from
prism2_free_local_data().

Flush is used instead of cancel as some process and free items from
queue.
