Inside the IEEE 802.15.4 6LoWPAN subsystem we use two interfaces which
are wpan and lowpan interfaces. Instead of using always the variable
name "dev" for both we rename the "dev" variable to wdev which means the
wpan net_device and ldev which means a lowpan net_device. This avoids
confusing and always looking back to see which net_device is meant by
the variable name "dev".

This patch fixes the error handling for lowpan_xmit_fragment by replace
"-PTR_ERR" to "PTR_ERR". PTR_ERR returns already a negative errno code.

This patch introduce a new mib entry which isn't part of 802.15.4 but
useful as default behaviour to set the ack request bit or not if we
don't know if the ack request bit should set. This is currently used for
stacks like IEEE 802.15.4 6LoWPAN.

This patch sets the acknowledge request bit inside the 802.15.4 mac
header when frame retries is 0 or above. The other frame retries value
which is -1 indicates that the transmitter doesn't care about an
acknowledge frame which will be ignored after transmitting if the node
sends anyway an ack frame after receiving. This is currently unnecessary
traffic if the max frame retries parameter is -1.

This patch removes the mib lock. The new locking mechanism is to protect
the mib values with the rtnl lock. Note that this isn't always necessary
if we have an interface up the most mib values are readonly (e.g.
address settings). With this behaviour we can remove locking in
hotpath like frame parsing completely. It depends on context if we need
to hold the rtnl lock or not, this makes the callbacks of
ieee802154_mlme_ops unnecessary because these callbacks hols always the
locks.

This patch moves all relevant transmit functionality into a separate tx.c
file. We can simple separate this functionality like we did it in mac802154.
