ieee802154: Associations between devices

Hello,

[I know we are in the middle of the merge window, I don't think it
matters on the wpan side, so as the wpan subsystem did not evolve
much since the previous merge window I figured I would not delay the
sending of this series given the fact that I should have send it at the
beginning of the summer...]

Now that we can discover our peer coordinators or make ourselves
dynamically discoverable, we may use the information about surrounding
devices to create PANs dynamically. This involves of course:
* Requesting an association to a coordinator, waiting for the response
* Sending a disassociation notification to a coordinator
* Receiving an association request when we are coordinator, answering
  the request (for now all devices are accepted up to a limit, to be
  refined)
* Sending a disassociation notification to a child
* Users may request the list of associated devices (the parent and the
  children).

Here are a few example of userspace calls that can be made:
iwpan dev <dev> associate pan_id 2 coord $COORD
iwpan dev <dev> list_associations
iwpan dev <dev> disassociate ext_addr $COORD

I used a small using hwsim to scan for a coordinator, associate with
it, look at the associations on both sides, disassociate from it and
check the associations again:
./assoc-demo
*** Scan ***
PAN 0x0002 (on wpan1)
	coordinator 0x060f3b35169a498f
	page 0
	channel 13
	preamble code 0
	mean prf 0
	superframe spec. 0xcf11
	LQI ff
*** End of scan ***
Associating wpan1 with coord0 0x060f3b35169a498f...
Dumping coord0 assoc:
child : 0x0b6f / 0xba7633ae47ccfb21
Dumping wpan1 assoc:
parent: 0xffff / 0x060f3b35169a498f
Disassociating from wpan1
Dumping coord0 assoc:
Dumping wpan1 assoc:

I could also successfully interact with a smaller device running Zephir,
using its command line interface to associate and then disassociate from
the Linux coordinator.

Thanks!

Changes in v2:
* Drop the misleading IEEE802154_ADDR_LONG_BROADCAST definition and its
  only use which was useless anyway.
* Clarified how devices are defined when the user requests to associate
  with a coordinator: for now only the extended address of the
  coordinator is relevant so this is the only address we care about.
* Drop a useless NULL check before a kfree() call.
* Add a check when allocating a child short address: it must be
  different than ours.
* Rebased on top of v6.5.
