rfkill: rewrite

Browse Source 
This patch completely rewrites the rfkill core to address
the following deficiencies:

 * all rfkill drivers need to implement polling where necessary
   rather than having one central implementation

 * updating the rfkill state cannot be done from arbitrary
   contexts, forcing drivers to use schedule_work and requiring
   lots of code

 * rfkill drivers need to keep track of soft/hard blocked
   internally -- the core should do this

 * the rfkill API has many unexpected quirks, for example being
   asymmetric wrt. alloc/free and register/unregister

 * rfkill can call back into a driver from within a function the
   driver called -- this is prone to deadlocks and generally
   should be avoided

 * rfkill-input pointlessly is a separate module

 * drivers need to #ifdef rfkill functions (unless they want to
   depend on or select RFKILL) -- rfkill should provide inlines
   that do nothing if it isn't compiled in

 * the rfkill structure is not opaque -- drivers need to initialise
   it correctly (lots of sanity checking code required) -- instead
   force drivers to pass the right variables to rfkill_alloc()

 * the documentation is hard to read because it always assumes the
   reader is completely clueless and contains way TOO MANY CAPS

 * the rfkill code needlessly uses a lot of locks and atomic
   operations in locked sections

 * fix LED trigger to actually change the LED when the radio state
   changes -- this wasn't done before
