wifi: cfg80211: drop incorrect nontransmitted BSS update code
[ Upstream commit 39432f8a3752a87a53fd8d5e51824a43aaae5cab ]
The removed code ran for any BSS that was not included in the MBSSID
element in order to update it. However, instead of using the correct
inheritance rules, it would simply copy the elements from the
transmitting AP. The result is that we would report incorrect elements
in this case.
After some discussions, it seems that there are likely not even APs
actually using this feature. Either way, removing the code decreases
complexity and makes the cfg80211 behaviour more correct.
