wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: don't leak a link on AP removal
[ Upstream commit 3ed092997a004d68a3a5b0eeb94e71b69839d0f7 ]
Release the link mapping resource in AP removal. This impacted devices
that do not support the MLD API (9260 and down).
On those devices, we couldn't start the AP again after the AP has been
already started and stopped.
