nl80211: Fix send_mlme to use monitor interface only for AP interface
Use monitor interface to send_mlme only when the interface is configured in AP mode. In multiple interface setup, one interface can be configured in AP mode using monitor interface and another interface in station mode. The station interface may also require sending the management frames without using monitor interface, e.g., support external SAE authentication to send Authentication frames without monitor interface. This change allows sending management frames to the driver for a station interface where the AP interface uses monitor interface. Additionally, the monitor interface is only valid for AP mode (nl80211_create_monitor_interface() is called in nl80211_setup_ap) so interface type check ensures to use monitor interface only when required by the specific interface.
