Arend van Spriel 9967538044 wifi: cfg80211: pre-assign cookie for driver callbacks
Having a single place for cookie assignment and keeping that
responsibility in the cfg80211 subsystem is a logical choice as it
handles the userspace nl80211 API. add_nan_func already does this:
cfg80211 calls cfg80211_assign_cookie() before invoking the driver.
Apply the same pattern to remain_on_channel, mgmt_tx, probe_peer and
tx_control_port by pre-assigning the cookie in the nl80211 command
handlers before the rdev_* call. For tx_control_port the cookie is
only pre-assigned when the caller requests an ack (cookie pointer
non-NULL).

Drivers may still overwrite the value for now; subsequent patches will
remove per-driver cookie generation.
