This patch removes the mib lock. The new locking mechanism is to protect
the mib values with the rtnl lock. Note that this isn't always necessary
if we have an interface up the most mib values are readonly (e.g.
address settings). With this behaviour we can remove locking in
hotpath like frame parsing completely. It depends on context if we need
to hold the rtnl lock or not, this makes the callbacks of
ieee802154_mlme_ops unnecessary because these callbacks hols always the
locks.

This patch will use atomic operations for sequence number incrementation
while MAC header generation. Upper layers like af_802154 or 6LoWPAN
could call this function in a parallel context while generating 802.15.4
MAC header before queuing into wpan interfaces transmit queue.

Currently there exists two interface types with ARPHRD_IEEE802154. These
are the 802.15.4 interfaces and 802.15.4 6LoWPAN interfaces. This is
more a bug because some userspace applications checks on this value like
wireshark. This occurs that wireshark will always try to parse a lowpan
interface as 802.15.4 frames. With ARPHRD_6LOWPAN wireshark will parse
it as IPv6 frames which is correct.
Much applications checks on this value to readout the EUI64 mac address
which should be the same for ARPHRD_6LOWPAN. BTLE 6LoWPAN and ieee802154
6LoWPAN will share now the same ARPHRD.

6LoWPAN currently doesn't supports x-netns and works only in init_net.
With this patch, we ensure that:
- the wpan interface cannot be moved to another netns;
- the 6lowpan interface cannot be moved to another netns;
- the wpan interface is in the same netns than the 6lowpan interface;
- the 6lowpan interface is in init_net.

Since commit ea81ac2e70 ("ieee802154:
create 6lowpan sub-directory") we have a subdirectory for the ieee802154
6lowpan implementation. This commit also moves the Kconfig entry inside
of net/ieee802154/6lowpan/ and forgot to rename the Makefile entry from
obj-$(CONFIG_IEEE802154_6LOWPAN) to obj-y and handle the
obj-$(CONFIG_IEEE802154_6LOWPAN) inside the created 6lowpan directory.
This will occur that the ieee802154_6lowpan can't be build.

This patch moves all relevant transmit functionality into a separate tx.c

This patch renames the internal header for af802154. This naming
convention is like ieee802154_i.h in mac802154 and avoids naming
confusing with the global af802154 header. Furthermore this header
contains more ieee802154 specific definitions.

This patch creates an 6lowpan sub-directory inside ieee802154.
Additional we move all ieee802154 6lowpan relevant files into
this sub-directory instead of placing the 6lowpan related files
inside ieee802154.
