mac80211_hwsim: add hashtable with mac address keys for faster lookup
This patch adds a rhastable for mac address lookup of hwsim radios. This especially improve the speed on reception of a netlink message with a new frame. Although redundant, we keep holding a normal list for all radios, since the rhashtable_walk interface adds a lot of overhead for iterating over all radios and the doc of rhashtable recommend a redundant structure for stable walks in such situations. Since rhashtable is rcu protected we do not need a lock for delivering frames and thus improving this scenario.
