dropped frames a little more consistent and
fixes an issue in hardstart where I was being
too aggressive about requeing.
I thought the slab allocator would stop handing
out skbuff instances before the system was out
of free memory based upon some kind of limit on
the number of buffers, but this was nonsense.
Therefore, it is NOT a good idea to requeue
when skb allocation fails because this pretty
much basically means we are out of free memory.
Keeping the packets we do not have the RAM to
send and then stopping the transmit queue has
very bad side effects under low/zero memory
conditions.
Symptoms may include OOM killer and panics,
among other things.
It's better to drop tx packets when there's no
more RAM than to lock all the tx packets up
in the transmit queue. Even if more skb
become freed up in the slab cache due to
transmissions already in progress, evil things
still happen.

messages from 1000 to 192 and drop the length
needed to display the [atomic] node count.
Slamming this much data on the stack can cause
stack overflows with 4k stacks quite easily,
especially when hard interrupts occur and
extend a stack that is already almost full.

count of the new bss node. The allocation
function gives us a reference. With this extra
reference, every invocation of reset_bss was
causing a leak of one node ~4kb every time the
interface was brought back up (or the BSS was reset
for other reasons).
This fixes ticket #1682. I can run ifconfig down/up
cycle for a long time. I'll run it overnight next
to be sure.

node in the node table. The node reference was
being taken in any path where the wds node was found
and not just when the wds node was first added.
This would have caused wds nodes to get inflated
reference counts, and be leaked on bss reset when
nodes were flushed from the node tables.

copy of the bss node is used to send a message
we need to make sure all code paths release
it when done. This bug combined with repeated
auth failures would cause node references to
grow with every failure. Then, if you were
taking down the interface and bringing it back
up you would leak one page (4kb) every time the
the node table was flushed on transition to UP.

HAL_INT_RX, HAL_INT_RXPHY, or HAL_INT_SWBA. In
such cases, we will collect the earliest hw tsf
sample we can get and this is passed into send_beacon
and the trigger processing helper functions.
This cuts the number of hardware TSF reads by a
factor of three per interrupt. We should be reading
the hardware TSF now once on interrupt entry, and
once in the second part of trigger processing when
we correct for hardware TSF rollover.

Move one hw tsf read into a conditional block as it is only used in a debug printout.
Replace one hw tsf read with a reference to the existing hw tsf in the buffer (which is more accurate anyway).
