This ports the b43/legacy rfkill code to the new API offered
by cfg80211 and thus removes a lot of useless stuff.

This patch completely rewrites the rfkill core to address
the following deficiencies:
* all rfkill drivers need to implement polling where necessary
rather than having one central implementation
* updating the rfkill state cannot be done from arbitrary
contexts, forcing drivers to use schedule_work and requiring
lots of code
* rfkill drivers need to keep track of soft/hard blocked
internally -- the core should do this
* the rfkill API has many unexpected quirks, for example being
asymmetric wrt. alloc/free and register/unregister
* rfkill can call back into a driver from within a function the
driver called -- this is prone to deadlocks and generally
should be avoided
* rfkill-input pointlessly is a separate module
* drivers need to #ifdef rfkill functions (unless they want to
depend on or select RFKILL) -- rfkill should provide inlines
that do nothing if it isn't compiled in
* the rfkill structure is not opaque -- drivers need to initialise
it correctly (lots of sanity checking code required) -- instead
force drivers to pass the right variables to rfkill_alloc()
* the documentation is hard to read because it always assumes the
reader is completely clueless and contains way TOO MANY CAPS
* the rfkill code needlessly uses a lot of locks and atomic
operations in locked sections
* fix LED trigger to actually change the LED when the radio state
changes -- this wasn't done before

The rfkill subsystem doesn't like code like that
rfkill_allocate();
rfkill_register();
rfkill_unregister();
rfkill_register(); /* <- This will crash */
This sequence happens with
modprobe b43
ifconfig wlanX up
ifconfig wlanX down
ifconfig wlanX up
Fix this by always re-allocating the rfkill stuff before register.

This removes the direct call to rfkill on an rfkill event
and replaces it with an input device. This way userspace is also
notified about the event.

This adds full support for the RFKILL button and
the RFKILL LED trigger.
