If an AP_VLAN is only used with one station, cache a pointer to this

Read this as - you need to do more to convince me that the double
accounting and software complexity is worth it.

And then, if we really want/need to have the double accounting and all
the associated complexity and potential problems, perhaps making per-
interface lists, perhaps even replacing the global list (since we still
have a global hash table), or something similar would make more sense?
