mac80211: fix use-after-free

    mac80211: move cmntr flag out of rx flags

moved the CMTR flag into the skb's status, and
in doing so introduced a use-after-free -- when
the skb has been handed to cooked monitors the
status setting will touch now invalid memory.

Additionally, moving it there has effectively
discarded the optimisation -- since the bit is
only ever set on freed SKBs, and those were a
copy, it could never be checked.

For the current release, fixing this properly
is a bit too involved, so let's just remove the
problematic code and leave userspace with one
copy of each frame for each virtual interface.
