Johannes Berg a1dc648aa7 wifi: mac80211: remove chanctx to link back-references
Each link can currently use a chanctx and have another one
reserved, and both of these are also tracked backwards in
the assigned_links and reserved_links lists. If we consider
that there aren't *that* many links, this duplicate book-
keeping isn't necessary.
(I think it used to be necessary before the wiphy locking
changes, when chanctx_mtx existed, because we couldn't do
any interface iterations while holding only chanctx_mtx.)

Additionally, for NAN, we're going to want to track which
chanctxs are in use by the (group of) NAN interfaces. For
those, links don't really make sense as such, so chanctxs
need to be assigned to a different data structure.

Thus, as a first step, remove those back-lists of users
(right now only links) of each channel context. This is a
very basic conversion, ieee80211_vif_use_reserved_switch()
should made to iterate smarter.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
