This patch enables userspace to rename 802.11 PHYs via nl80211. It adds
the first multicast group and notifies it of these renames as well.
Also, it changes the default wiphy name to just "phy%d in anticipation
of Greg KH's sysfs change that will add the class name in front of the
directory name.

This patch is actually required for my cfg80211/nl80211 rework patch and
I fixed the corner-case I talked about earlier now.
Apparently the sysfs change that would call the directory ieee80211:phy0
isn't in there yet though, but since we're not in mainline either we can
apply this patch safely for now. Also debugfs_rename is still missing,
I'll need to address that before we go to mainline.
Please apply this patch though, it adds useful functionality and doesn't
break anything even if debugfs_rename is missing (because it's not
permitted to rename the phy to phy%d where %d is something other than
its own index.
