Subject: [PATCH v2] mac80211: add support for userspace to handle auth frames on adhoc ifaces

Allow userspace daemons to register for (DE)AUTH management frames
received on an adhoc interface. Registration for these frames, done
through nl80211, is necessary to support certain userspace
authentication schemes.
