mac80211: allow using AP_LINK_PS with mac80211-generated TIM IE
In 46fa38e8 ("mac80211: allow software PS-Poll/U-APSD with AP_LINK_PS"), Johannes allowed to use mac80211's code for handling stations that go to PS or send PS-Poll / uAPSD trigger frames for devices that enable RSS. This means that mac80211 doesn't look at frames anymore but rather relies on a notification that will come from the device when a PS transition occurs or when a PS-Poll / trigger frame is detected by the device. iwlwifi will need this capability but still needs mac80211 to take care of the TIM IE. Today, if a driver sets AP_LINK_PS, mac80211 will not update the TIM IE. Change mac80211 to check existence of the set_tim driver callback rather than using AP_LINK_PS to decide if the driver handles the TIM IE internally or not.
