wireless extensions: make netns aware

Browse source 
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@gondor.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
