Extend nl80211 to report an exponential weighted moving average (EWMA) of the
signal value. Since the signal value usually fluctuates between different
packets, an average can be more useful than the value of the last packet.

This uses the recently added generic EWMA library function.

John, please revert this patch ASAP -- it completely messed up some ABI,
and the performance discussion is also not over yet.

Just so I understand:  Is the ABI issue because the netlink enum
was added in the middle, or are there other ABI problems?

Thanks,
Ben
