Ok so I just talked about this with Thomas Graf and Herbert Xu and
Herbert suggested that we solves the "single userspace MLME" only issue
in userspace. Then, we create a new multicast group for "userspace MLME"
that it signs up for. Then, we can use netlink_has_listeners to decide
whether there's a userspace MLME or not (we could even add a new command
"is userspace MLME present" based on that)
