We could do that, but as written mpath table now wants an mbss pointer
in either case. Seemed more straight-forward to just always require
it even though the structures are kind of pointless for unshared vifs.

Intent was to be sure pending queue doesn't run while we're taking
out this interface (since another interface may be queueing frames
here), but that can't actually happen until a later patch. So
maybe it should be split out or moved later.
The stop path should be revisited anyway, there's some duplication
in what ieee80211_do_stop() does and this, which is really about when
stop_mesh() gets called and when mbss gets freed.
