Subject: [PATCH v4] ieee80211: Print human-readable disassoc/deauth reason
 codes

Create a function to return a descriptive string for each reason code,
and print that in addition to the numeric value in the kernel log. These
codes are easily found on popular search engines, but one is generally
not able to access the internet when dealing with wireless connectivity
issues.

Changes in v2: Refactored array of strings into switch statement.
Changes in v3: Fix style problem, use simplifying macro for switch
statement, eliminate temporary enum variable.
Changes in v4: Move new function to net/mac80211/mlme.c and make it
static, since all of its callers are there.
