Sometimes data is sent when the IBSS interface is not connected.
wl12xx handles this correctly by throwing the packets. In this sense
there's no "bug".
All this patch does is remove warning messages that confuse the users
(and developers).

I agree fixing mac80211 is the better thing to do, and we'll get to it
when time permits.
