Remove rtw_mfree_xmit_priv_lock() because it is empty. Remove its only
call from within _rtw_free_xmit_priv().

There are only two definitions from ethernet.h used in the driver.
Namely:
Both are only used in the file core/rtw_recv.c. Replace the usage of
ETHERNET_HEADER_SIZE with ETH_HLEN, move the definition of LLC_HEADER_SIZE
into rtw_recv.h and remove the now unused ethernet.h header file.

The struct ip_options declared in ip.h is only unsed in the optlength
macro which is also defined in ip.h and not used in the driver code.
All other definitions/declarations in ip.h are duplicated from
<include/uapi/linux/ip.h>. Remove the ip.h header file and its includes.

Many defined constants in wifi.h are unused and/or available from
<linux/ieee80211.h>, some with slightly different names. Remove
the constants from ieee80211.h and wifi.h and use the common ones. Rename where
necessary.
Convert all rtw_zvmalloc calls within the driver to use the existing
kernel vzalloc function, which has the same semantics. Also rewrite the
two places where it is mentioned in comments to say vzalloc, and remove
the redundant cast to struct adapter * in ./os_dep/usb_intf.c as vzalloc
returns void *.
The reason for the conversion is that rtw_zvmalloc is just a
preprocessor definition for _rtw_zvmalloc which itself is just an inline
wrapper around vmalloc which then zeroes the memory out. As vzalloc does
the same thing via usage of __GFP_ZERO, this code is redundant and can
subsequently be removed.

Convert the only call to rtw_vmalloc in os_dep/ioctl_linux.c to the
kernel's existing vmalloc function, as rtw_malloc is just a preprocessor
definition for _rtw_vmalloc. The _rtw_vmalloc function is defined inline
and returns a u8, wrapping standard vmalloc. This behaviour is not necessary.

The compiler is free to ignore, or follow, "inline" markings so they
really have no use in .c files, so just remove them.
This allows functions to properly show up as being unused when all
callers to them are removed, otherwise gcc does not warn you about this.

These changes are a backport of associated newer changes made in the v5.6.4.2
rtl8812au driver, and correct problems in the previous initialization process
that caused multiple kernel traps on startup.
