Sathishkumar Muruganandam c809756f9f nl80211: Allocate nl_sock for NETLINK_ROUTE when already_in_bridge
When we start hostapd having Hotspot 2.0 configuration with interface
already added to bridge interface, addition and deletion of new neighbor
to bridge ip neighbor table fails.

This is since 'bss->added_if_into_bridge' is not set which only allows
'drv->rtnl_sk' (nl_sock for NETLINK_ROUTE) allocation needed for bridge
ip neighbor table.

Add a new bit 'already_in_bridge' and set it when interface is already
added to bridge by some external component. Check this bit in addition
to 'bss->added_if_into_bridge' for 'drv->rtnl_sk' allocation done in
i802_init().

Now 'drv->rtnl_sk' is closed in wpa_driver_nl80211_deinit() regardless of
'bss->added_if_into_bridge' since when we have 'bss->already_in_bridge'
case too, this need to be removed.
