When mac80211 receives a packet, we interate over the list of
active interfaces to find the station(which transmitted the packet).
Currently, station search is not allowed on AP/VLAN interface; since
stations can also get mapped to AP/VLAN interfaces, they are worth
considering for station search.
I don't see how this makes sense. We use sta_info_get_bss() later, so
any AP/AP_VLAN would be OK, so we don't need to try it twice for
AP_VLAN?
AP/VLANs are skipped currently, we don't even get to sta_info_get_bss() 
if the iftype is AP/VLAN. No?
