wifi: mac80211: remove chanctx to link back-references

Browse source

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.
