Subject: mac80211: Fix setting TX power on monitor interfaces

From: "Peter Gro�e" <pegro@friiks.de>


[ Upstream commit 3a3713ec360138f806c6fc368d1de570f692b347 ]

Instead of calling ieee80211_recalc_txpower on monitor interfaces
directly, call it using the virtual monitor interface, if one exists.

In case of a single monitor interface given, reject setting TX power,
if no virtual monitor interface exists.

That being checked, don't warn in ieee80211_bss_info_change_notify,
after setting TX power on a monitor interface.

Fixes warning:
