    ("iwlwifi: clean up unused NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR for Monitor mode")
    broke injection of non-broadcast frames to unassociated stations
    (causing a SYSASSERT for all such injected frames), due to injected
    frames no longer automatically getting a broadcast station ID assigned.
    This patch restores the old behavior, fixing the aforementioned
    regression.
    
    Also, consistently check for IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED instead of
    iwl_is_monitor_mode in the TX path, as TX_CTL_INJECTED specifically
    means that a given packet is coming from a monitor interface, while
    iwl_is_monitor_mode only shows whether a monitor interface exists
    on the device.
