Subject: [PATCH v2] wireless extensions: make netns aware

This makes wireless extensions netns aware. The
tasklet sending the events is converted to a work
struct so that we can rtnl_lock() in it.

- * Locking...
- * ----------
- *
- * Thanks to Herbert Xu <herbert@...dor.apana.org.au> for fixing
- * the locking issue in here and implementing this code !
- *
- * The issue : wireless_send_event() is often called in interrupt context,
- * while the Netlink layer can never be called in interrupt context.
- * The fully formed RtNetlink events are queued, and then a tasklet is run
- * to feed those to Netlink.
- * The skb_queue is interrupt safe, and its lock is not held while calling
- * Netlink, so there is no possibility of dealock.
- * Jean II
