A handful of fixes:
 * a use-after-free fix in rfkill
 * a memory leak fix in the mac80211 TX status path
 * some rate scaling fixes
 * a fix for the often-reported (by syzbot) sleeping
   in atomic issue with mac80211's station removal
mac80211: free sta in sta_info_insert_finish() on errors

If sta_info_insert_finish() fails, we currently keep the station
around and free it only in the caller, but there's only one such
caller and it always frees it immediately.

As syzbot found, another consequence of this split is that we can
put things that sleep only into __cleanup_single_sta() and not in
sta_info_free(), but this is the only place that requires such of
sta_info_free() now.

Change this to free the station in sta_info_insert_finish(), in
which case we can still sleep. This will also let us unify the
cleanup code later.
