staging: r8712u: Simplify semaphores
I am preparing to convert this driver from semaphore to mutex locking,
The first step has been to eliminate a number of semaphores that were
initialized but never used, and one whose only use was a single "up"
after initialization. A total of 9 semaphores were removed in this process.
One other change was to remove some inline semaphore routines that were
unused.
In addition, several cases had the following structure:
down()
if () {
...
}
up()
The locking overhead was reduced by moving the up/down inside the if
block.

staging: r8712u: Use asynchronous firmware loading
In https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27996, failure of driver r8712u is
reported, with a timeout during module loading due to synchronous loading
of the firmware. The code now uses request_firmware_nowait().

In transmit path, r8712_free_xmitframe(), the pkt pointer is now
NULLed _within_ the spin lock.

staging: r8712u: Sets to SSID, and to AP MAC#, can now be done when the interface is Down.
The original Realtek code assumed that ioctl Sets get done after the
interface is Up. This included the set to Essid and to the AP MAC#;
and it fit Realtek's installation procedure. But there is no such
necessity for the adapter, and no stated requirement found
elsewhere. Also, wireless drivers typically permit this.
A typical error message used to be:
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not permitted.

staging: r8712u: Add the new driver to the mainline kernel
This code is for a completely new version of the Realtek 8192 USB devices
such as the D-Link DWA-130. The Realtek code, which was originally for
Linux, Windows XP and Windows CE, has been stripped of all code not needed
for Linux. In addition, only one additional configuration variable, which
enables AP mode, remains.
