daemonize() is only needed when a user-space task does kernel_thread().
r8712_cmd_thread() is kthread_create()'ed and thus it doesn't need
the soon-to-be-deprecated daemonize(). It is the only caller of
thread_enter() which actually does the call.
Note:
- we are going to remove the sigdelset(blocked) code from
allow_signal(), this means that without this patch
thread_enter() can't work after that. Not to mention
daemonize() should be deprecated.
- as a side effect, this patch changes ->comm. Hopefully
this is fine, and padapter->pnetdev->name probably makes
more sense anyway.

padapter->bup is True when the interface has been
brought Up. But it was not being reset when the
interface is taken Down.
This has not caused a known problem, as other
state variables may be compensating for it. Never
the less, it is now properly tracked.

The original Realtek code assumed that ioctl Sets get done after the
interface is Up. This included the set to Essid and to the AP MAC#;
and it fit Realtek's installation procedure. But there is no such
necessity for the adapter, and no stated requirement found
elsewhere. Also, wireless drivers typically permit this.
A typical error message used to be:
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not permitted.

Driver r8712u is unable to handle ad-hoc mode. The issue is that when
the driver first starts, there will not be an SSID for association.
The fix is to always call the "select and join from scan" routine when
in ad-hoc mode.
Note: Ad-hoc mode worked intermittently before. If the driver had
previously been associated, then things were OK.

The original code had calls to snprintf(p, 7, "wpa_ie=") but that string
is 8 characters (because snprintf() puts a NUL terminator on the end).
So instead of an '=' the what gets written to buf is a NUL terminator
followed by the rest of the string.
And actually the %02x formats are three chars as well when you include
the terminator.

PollingCnt is 20 and that means we loop 20 times and then run the
timeout code. After the end of the loop PollingCnt should be -1 but
because it's an unsigned char, it's actually 255 and the timeout
