mac80211: Add WDS / 4addr fix for ath10k supported devices

This should fix the WDS / 4addr mode with ath10k and probably other
devices.

Subject: [PATCH] {nl,mac}80211: allow 4addr AP operation on crypto controlled
devices
As per the current design, for sw crypto controlled devices, it is
the device which has to advertise the support for AP/VLAN iftype
based on it's capability to tranmsit packets encrypted in software
(In VLAN functionality, group traffic generated for a specific
VLAN group is always encrypted in software). Commit db3bdcb9c3ff
("mac80211: allow AP_VLAN operation on crypto controlled devices")
has introduced this change.
Since 4addr AP operation also uses AP/VLAN iftype, this conditional
way of advertising AP/VLAN support has broken 4addr AP mode operation on
crypto controlled devices which do not support VLAN functionality.
For example:
In the case of ath10k driver, not all firmwares have support for VLAN
functionality but all can support 4addr AP operation. Because AP/VLAN
support is not advertised for these devices, 4addr AP operations are
also blocked.
Fix this by allowing 4addr opertion on devices which do not advertise
AP/VLAN iftype but which can support 4addr operation (the desicion is
taken based on the wiphy flag WIPHY_FLAG_4ADDR_AP).
Fixes: Commit db3bdcb9c3ff ("mac80211: allow AP_VLAN operation on
crypto controlled devices")
