[PATCH 2/2] nl80211: Add support to offload SA Query procedures for AP SME device

[Veerendranath Jakkam <vjakkam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Add a flag attribute to use in ap settings to indicate userspace
supports offloading of SA Query procedures to driver. Also add AP SME
device feature flag to advertise that the SA Query procedures offloaded
to driver when userspace indicates support for offloading of SA Query
procedures.

Driver handles SA Query procedures in driver's SME it self and skip
sending SA Query request or response frames to userspace when userspace
indicates support for SA Query procedures offload. But if userspace
doesn't advertise support for SA Query procedures offload driver shall
not offload SA Query procedures handling.

Also userspace with SA Query procedures offload capability shall skip SA
Query specific validations when driver indicates support for handling SA
Query procedures.
