Subject: [PATCH net] wifi: mac80211: fix WARNING in ieee80211_link_info_change_notify()

Syz reports the following WARNING:
wlan0: Failed check-sdata-in-driver check, flags: 0x0
WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 5384 at net/mac80211/main.c:287

The execution process is as follows:
Thread A:
ieee80211_open()
    ieee80211_do_open()
        drv_add_interface()     //set IEEE80211_SDATA_IN_DRIVER flag
...
cfg80211_shutdown_all_interfaces()
    ...
    ieee80211_stop()
        ieee80211_do_stop()
            drv_remove_interface() //clear flag
...
nl80211_set_mcast_rate()
    ieee80211_set_mcast_rate()
        ieee80211_link_info_change_notify()
            check_sdata_in_driver() //WARNING because flag is cleared

When the wlan device stops, the IEEE80211_SDATA_IN_ DRIVER flag is cleared
after the interface is removed. And then after the set mcast rate command
is executed, a WARNING is generated because the flag bit is cleared.
