ath5k: correct padding in tx descriptors
when setting up the tx descriptors for the hardware we must account for any
padding between the header and the data we might have added previously. frame
len is the length of the frame in the air (including FCS but no padding) and
buffer len is the length of the buffer (including padding, but without FCS).
changing the way ah_setup_tx_desc is called: now excluding the FCS, since it's
easier to add that in the function where we need it.
before this fix we sent trailing zero bytes after the packet (because frame len
included the padding) which was not a big problem without WEP, but with WEP
this resultes in a wrong WEP checksum and the packet is discarded - which is
how i noticed at all ;)
an easy way to run into header padding problems, btw, is to connect to a QoS

and will require padding.

[NETLABEL]: Don't produce unused variables when IPv6 is off.
Some code declares variables on the stack, but uses them
under #ifdef CONFIG_IPV6, so thay become unused when ipv6
is off. Fortunately, they are used in a switch's case
branches, so the fix is rather simple.
Is it OK from coding style POV to add braces inside "cases",
or should I better avoid such style and rework the patch?

[GENETLINK]: Relax dances with genl_lock.
The genl_unregister_family() calls the genl_unregister_mc_groups(),
which takes and releases the genl_lock and then locks and releases
this lock itself.
Relax this behavior, all the more so the genl_unregister_mc_groups()
is called from genl_unregister_family() only.
