Let userspace learn about iftype changes by sending an
NL80211_CMD_NEW_INTERFACE when handling a NL80211_CMD_SET_INTERFACE
command. There seems to be no other place where the iftype can change:
nl80211_set_interface is the only caller of cfg80211_change_iface which
is the only caller of ops->change_virtual_intf.
