From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
When bringing monitor mode up with a driver using the
mac80211 virtual monitor interface this resulted in a
warning because cfg80211_update_iface_num() is called
from PRE_UP, which causes it to call mac80211 and the
low-level driver before the device is started.
For the case that another interface is added and the
monitor interface should be removed, this is correct.
However, in the case where a monitor interface is
added, it's not correct as the above.
To fix this, we need to split up the cases and track
whether or not "only monitor" is active so that the
code can correctly call into the driver when things
change.
