As the operating environment of a device can change, add
API for user space to indicate a change of indoor settings.
In addition modify the handling of the indoor processing as
follows:
1. Directly update the indoor setting without wrapping it as a
regulatory request.
2. If the user space process explicitly indicates that it is going
to control the indoor setting, do not clear the indoor setting
internally, unless the socket is released. The user space process
should use the NL80211_ATTR_SOCKET_OWNER attribute in the command
to state that it is going to control the indoor setting.
3. Reset the indoor setting when restoring the regulatory settings in
case it is not owned by a user space process.
