[PATCH 3/3] cfg80211: processing regulatory requests on netdev notifier

["Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This adds a trigger to review any pending regulatory
requests whenever an 802.11 device interface is brought
down or up. We use this as an opportunistic trigger
for checking the regulatory work queues as otherwise
they they're only checked upon an initial regulatory
request or when beacon hints are found.

This opportunistic mechanism can be used to trigger
kicking the queues regulatory queues at any time from
userspace without having to change the regulatory state.
