net80211: change ieee80211_ratectl_rate() to not return a rix

There are only a few places where the returned rix is used:

* linuxkpi - logging
* bwi/bwn - used for finding a fallback rate to choose, which
honestly should be returned by the ratectl API
* iwm - building the rateset to program into firmware

Everyone else uses the dot11rate value in ni->ni_txnode.

This is a precursor for VHT and later rate support; where currently
there aren't rate tables in ieee80211_phy.c for VHT and later
rates.

Although it's likely doable to add tables for VHT, 11ax and MU-OFDMA
(HE) rates are sufficiently larger/different to just not fit in the
current scheme without more refactoring.

As of 9e6544dd6e02c46b805d11ab925c4f3b18ad7a4b contigfree(9) is no longer
needed and should not be used anymore. We leave a wrapper for 3rd party
code in at least 15.x but remove (almost) all other cases from the tree.

This leaves one use of contigfree(9) untouched; that was the original
trigger for 9e6544dd6e02 and is handled in D45813 (to be committed
seperately later).

We have (two versions) of MS() and SM() macros which we use throughout
the wireless code. Change all but three places (ath_hal, rtwn, and rsu)
to the newly provided _IEEE80211_MASKSHIFT() and _IEEE80211_SHIFTMASK()
macros. Also change one internal case using both _S and _M instead of
just _S away from _M (one of the reasons rtwn and rsu were not changed).

This was done semi-mechanically. No functional changes intended.

r357614 added CTLFLAG_NEEDGIANT to make it easier to find nodes that are
still not MPSAFE (or already are but aren’t properly marked).
Use it in preparation for a general review of all nodes.

This is non-functional change that adds annotations to SYSCTL_NODE and
SYSCTL_PROC nodes using one of the soon-to-be-required flags.

Mark all obvious cases as MPSAFE. All entries that haven't been marked
as MPSAFE before are by default marked as NEEDGIANT

Fix ieee80211_radiotap(9) usage in wireless drivers:

- Alignment issues:
* Add missing __packed attributes + padding across all drivers; in
most places there was an assumption that padding will be always
minimally suitable; in few places - e.g., in urtw(4) / rtwn(4) -
padding was just missing.
* Add __aligned(8) attribute for all Rx radiotap headers since they can
contain 64-bit TSF timestamp; it cannot appear in Tx radiotap headers, so
just drop the attribute here. Refresh ieee80211_radiotap(9) man page
accordingly.

- Since net80211 automatically updates channel frequency / flags in
ieee80211_radiotap_chan_change() drop duplicate setup for these fields
in drivers.

Tested with Netgear WG111 v3 (urtw(4)), STA mode.

Fix a possible mbuf double free in bwn_dma_tx_start().

If bus_dmamap_load_mbuf() fails following a defrag, the caller of
bwn_dma_tx_start() would free the original mbuf after m_defrag() had
already done so. Fix this by returning the defragged mbuf to the
caller instead. Update bwn_pio_tx_start() similarly for consistency.
