mac80211: remove iwlwifi specific workaround that broke sta NDP tx
commit e41eb3e408de27982a5f8f50b2dd8002bed96908 upstream. Sending nulldata packets is important for sw AP link probing and detecting 4-address mode links. The checks that dropped these packets were apparently added to work around an iwlwifi firmware bug with multi-TID aggregation.
