One of the factors of a link's grade is the channel load, which is
calculated from the AP's bss load element.
The current code takes this element from the beacon for an active link,
and from bss->ies for an inactive link.
bss->ies is set to either the beacon's ies or to the probe response
ones, with preference to the probe response (meaning that if there was
even one probe response, the ies of it will be stored in bss->ies and
won't be overiden by the beacon ies).
The probe response can be very old, i.e. from the connection time,
where a beacon is updated before each link selection (which is
triggered only after a passive scan).
In such case, the bss load element in the probe response will not
include the channel load caused by the STA, where the beacon will.
This will cause the inactive link to always have a lower channel
load, and therefore an higher grade than the active link's one.
This causes repeated link switches, causing the throughput to drop.
Fix this by always taking the ies from the beacon, as those are for
sure new.

During the development of the rate changes, I evidently made
some changes that shouldn't have been there; beacon templates
with rate_n_flags are only in old versions, so no changes to
them should have been necessary, and evidently broke on some
devices. This also would have broken fixed (injection) rates,
it would seem. Restore the old handling of this.

The list_for_each_entry() iterator must not be used outside the loop.
Even though we break and check for NULL, doing so still violates kernel
iteration rules and triggers Coccinelle's use_after_iter.cocci warning.
Cache the matched entry in aux_roc_te and use it consistently after the
loop. This follows iterator best practices, resolves the warning, and
makes the code more maintainable.

In my previous fix for this condition, I erroneously listed 9000
instead of 7000 family, when 7000/8000 were already using iwlmvm.
Thus the condition ended up wrong, causing the issue I had fixed
for older devices to suddenly appear on 7000/8000 family devices.
Correct the condition accordingly.

The function is called so because for older devices it sets a bit called
"init_done". But for the latest devices it sets a different bit,
"mac_init". Since this name is not clear anyway, rename it such that it
indicates the logic of the newer devices.
Also add the 'trans' prefix so iw will be clear from the name that this
is a transport API.

For newer device, and from API 100 (core 97), the PNVM should be taken
from the .ucode file, and not from an external .pnvm file.
In the current logic, if the PNVM doesn't exist in the .ucode file, we
fallback to fetching the .ucode file. This is wrong and hides bugs.
This fallback was needed for (a) old devices and (b) for newer
devices with an old API.
Since we no longer support those old APIs, (b) is not longer relevant.
We can, according to the device, select the right PNVM source
and fail if we couldn't find the PNVM there.
Add clear logic to select the expected PNVM source, and print an error
if we couldn't get the PNVM from there.
