mac80211: detect existing interface before adding

Keep existing wdev when creating new nl80211 interfaces if phy and
type match, delete it otherwise.
To make this work, also remove left-over debugging function which
prevented the return-value of the 'iw' command to be taken into
account in mac80211_iw_interface_add().
As 4addr-mode (WDS) was setup during interface creation for station
interfaces, also set it after interface creation to make sure an
existing sta interface ends up with the right mode.

                    reconfiguring wifi")
