Subject: [PATCH] nl80211: remove VLAN type

There is no point in trying to handle source MAC address based VLANs in
the wireless stack, something like "smacvlan" modeled after macvlan
should be sufficient.

We could just not keep the hole as well since people can't really be
using that header yet, but the version we have in previous kernels could
still be shipped somewhere so I think it should be kept compatible.
