I'm not too familiar with the driver but clearly this is the part that breaks
sta info update when running a monitor while an ap is running.

And as this is a valid interface combination it should work right ?

So this change works around the problem I reported earlier, I just confirmed it
on my setup. But maybe this is not the right fix indeed but hopefully it
points towards the culprit.
