From: Jérôme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@xxxxxxxxxx>
Device is able to automatically reply to probe request (therefore, the
probe requests are not forwarded to host). This feature is enabled by
wfx_start_ap(). However, further calls to wfx_configure_filter() can
disable it.
So, relocate the handling of probe request filtering in
wfx_configure_filter().
Note that wfx_configure_filter() is always called by mac80211 when an AP
start.
