wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: don't add default link in fw restart flow
[ Upstream commit 734a377e1eacc5153bae0ccd4423365726876e93 ]
When we add the vif (and its default link) in fw restart we may
override the link that already exists. We take care of this but if
link 0 is a valid MLO link, then we will re-create a default link on
mvmvif->link[0] and we'll loose the real link we had there.
In non-MLO, we need to re-create the default link upon the interface
creation, this is fine. In MLO, we'll just wait for change_vif_links()
to re-build the links.
