Divided the sta_info_insert_rcu function to 3 mini-functions:
sta_info_insert_check - the initial checks done when inserting
a new station
sta_info_insert_adhoc - the function that handles the station
addition in ad-hoc mode
sta_info_insert_mgd - the function that handles the station
addition in the other modes
The outer API was not changed.
The refactoring was done for better usage of the different
stages in the station addition in new scenarios added
in the next commit
