Its been seen (so far only in mac80211_hwsim + UML) where an
offchannel requests ACK comes after the ROC started event. This
causes the ROC started event to never call back to notify since
info->roc_cookie is unset and it appears to be coming from an
external process.
We can detect this situation in the ROC notify event by checking
if there is a pending ROC command and if info->roc_cookie does
not match. This can also be true for an external event so we just
set a new "early_cookie" member and return.
Then, when the ACK comes in for the ROC request, we can validate
if the prior event was associated with IWD or some external
process. If it was from IWD call the started callback, otherwise
the ROC notify event should come later and handled under the
normal logic where the cookies match.
Instead of looking up by wdev, lookup by the ID itself. We
shouldn't ever have more than one info per wdev in the queue but
looking up the _exact_ info structure doesn't hurt in case things
change in the future.
Certain module dependencies were missing, which could cause a crash on
exit under (very unlikely) circumstances.

In this particular case, wiphy module was de-initialized prior to the
netdev module:
Jul 14 18:14:39 localhost iwd[2867]: ../iwd-1.28/src/wiphy.c:wiphy_free() Freeing wiphy phy0[0]
Jul 14 18:14:39 localhost iwd[2867]: ../iwd-1.28/src/netdev.c:netdev_free() Freeing netdev wlan0[45]
The offchannel priority was also changed to zero, which matches the
priority of frames. Currently there should be no interaction between
offchannel and connect (previous offchannel priority).
This module provides a convenient wrapper around both
CMD_[CANCEL_]_REMAIN_ON_CHANNEL APIs.
Certain protocols require going offchannel to send frames, and/or
wait for a response. The frame-xchg module somewhat does this but
has some limitations. For example you cannot just go offchannel;
an initial frame must be sent out to start the procedure. In addition
frame-xchg does not work for broadcasts since it expects an ACK.
This module is much simpler and only handles going offchannel for
a duration. During this time frames may be sent or received. After
the duration the caller will get a callback and any included error
if there was one. Any offchannel request can be cancelled prior to
the duration expriring if the offchannel work has finished early.
