This change alters the semantics of NL80211_CMD_NEW_INTERFACE events by always sending this event whenever a new net_device object associated with a wdev is registered. Prior to this change, this event was only sent as a result of NL80211_CMD_NEW_INTERFACE command sent from userspace. This allows userspace to reliably detect new wireless interfaces (e.g. due to hardware hot-plug events, etc). For wdevs created without an associated net_device object (e.g. NL80211_IFTYPE_P2P_DEVICE), the NL80211_CMD_NEW_INTERFACE event is still generated inside the relevant nl80211 command handler.
