rG4aff4048f5b1: LinuxKPI: 802.11: support manual lladdr changes

Summary

Allow a user to change the "ether" address by ifconfig while a VAP is
not UP. Compared to net80211 (given we have no callback) we register
an eventhandler per-vif (a global one would force us to use hacks to
derive if a vap is indeed also a lkpi_80211 vif).

I don't think I have all the knowledge to approve this but the code and comment look good to me. I've tested this with my AX210/AX1675* and confirm it works.
Thanks for fixing this!
