{nl,mac}80211: fix interface combinations on crypto controlled devices
Commit 33d915d9 ("{nl,mac}80211: allow 4addr AP operation on crypto controlled devices") has introduced a change which allows 4addr operation on crypto controlled devices (ex: ath10k). This change has inadvertently impacted the interface combinations logic on such devices. General rule is that software interfaces like AP/VLAN should not be listed under supported interface combinations and should not be considered during validation of these combinations; because of the aforementioned change, AP/VLAN interfaces(if present) will be checked against interfaces supported by the device and blocks valid interface combinations. Consider a case where an AP and AP/VLAN are up and running; when a second AP device is brought up on the same physical device, this AP will be checked against the AP/VLAN interface (which will not be part of supported interface combinations of the device) and blocks second AP to come up. Add a new API cfg80211_iftype_allowed() to fix the problem, this API works for all devices with/without SW crypto control.
