* Add macros for the management and control frame type checks that
I've come across in the drivers.
* Delete some now old code (eg ath's ieee80211_is_action()) as there's now
a macro for it.

Local testing:

* not yet, I have a lot of wifi devices to find and test against

Widen EPOCH(9) usage in PCI WLAN drivers.

Make sure all occurrences of ieee80211_input_xxx() in sys/dev are
covered by a network epoch section. Do not depend on the interrupt
handler nor any taskqueues being in a network epoch section.

This patch should unbreak the PCI WLAN drivers after r357004.

Revert r327828, r327949, r327953, r328016-r328026, r328041:
Uses of mallocarray(9).

The use of mallocarray(9) has rocketed the required swap to build FreeBSD.
This is likely caused by the allocation size attributes which put extra pressure
on the compiler.

Given that most of these checks are superfluous we have to choose better
where to use mallocarray(9). We still have more uses of mallocarray(9) but
hopefully this is enough to bring swap usage to a reasonable level.

dev: make some use of mallocarray(9).

Focus on code where we are doing multiplications within malloc(9). None of
these is likely to overflow, however the change is still useful as some
static checkers can benefit from the allocation attributes we use for
mallocarray.

This initial sweep only covers malloc(9) calls with M_NOWAIT. No good
reason but I started doing the changes before r327796 and at that time it
was convenient to make sure the sorrounding code could handle NULL values.

net80211 drivers: fix rate setup for EAPOL frames, obtain Tx parameters

net80211 drivers: fix rate setup for EAPOL frames, obtain Tx parameters
directly from the node.

- Use ni_txparms directly instead of calculating them manually every time
- Move M_EAPOL flag check upper; otherwise it may be skipped due to
'ucastrate' / 'mcastrate' check
- Use 'mgtrate' for control frames too (see ifconfig(8), mgtrate parameter)
- Add few more M_EAPOL checks where it was missing (zyd(4), ural(4),
urtw(4))
- Few unrelated cleanups

Tested with:
- Intel 6205 (iwn(4)), STA mode;
- WUSB54GC (rum(4)), HOSTAP mode + RTL8188EU (rtwn(4)), STA mode.

net80211: ieee80211_ratectl*: switch to reusable KPI

net80211: ieee80211_ratectl*: switch to reusable KPI

Replace various void * / int argument combinations with common structures:
- ieee80211_ratectl_tx_status for *_tx_complete();
- ieee80211_ratectl_tx_stats for *_tx_update();

While here, improve amrr_tx_update() for a bit:
1. In case, if receiver is not known (typical for Ralink USB drivers),
refresh Tx rate for all nodes on the interface.
2. There was a misuse:
- otus(4) sends non-decreasing counters (as originally intended);
- but ural(4), rum(4) and run(4) are using 'read & clear' registers
to obtain statistics for some period of time (and those 'last period'
values are used as arguments for tx_update()). If arguments are not big
enough, they are just discarded after the next call.

Fix: move counting into *_tx_update()
(now otus(4) will zero out all node counters after every tx_update() call)

Tested with:
- Intel 3945BG (wpi(4)), STA mode.
- WUSB54GC (rum(4)), STA / HOSTAP mode.
- RTL8188EU (urtwn(4)), STA mode.

Auto-replace 'howmany(IEEE80211_MODE_MAX, 8)' with 'IEEE80211_MODE_BYTES'.

We have a howmany() macro in the <sys/param.h> header that is
convenient to re-use as it makes things easier to read.
