[PATCH v4] nl80211: reset regdom when reloading regdb

[Finn Behrens <me@xxxxxxxxxx>]

this reloads the regdom when the regulatory db is reloaded.
Without this patch the user had to change the regulatoy domain to a
different, and then reset it to the one the user is in, to have the new
regulatory db take effect

Sorry for taking so long for a new version. The mail provider my company
is using had some major problems connecting to the LKML.
This is why I now are using my personal mail server.
