Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: optimize skb resizing

When forwarding unicast packets from ethernet to batman-adv over 802.11s
(with forwarding disabled), the typical required headroom to transmit
encrypted packets on mt76 is 32 (802.11) + 6 (802.11s) + 8 (CCMP) +
2 (padding) + 6 (LLC) + 18 (batman-adv) - 14 (old ethernet header) = 58 bytes.

On systems where NET_SKB_PAD is 64 this leads to a call to pskb_expand_head
for every packet, since mac80211 also tries to allocate 16 bytes status
headroom for radiotap headers.

This patch fixes these unnecessary reallocations by only requiring the extra
status headroom in ieee80211_tx_monitor()
If however a reallocation happens before that call, the status headroom gets
added there as well, in order to avoid double reallocation.

The patch also cleans up the code by moving the headroom calculation to
ieee80211_skb_resize.
