[added to the 3.18 stable tree] mac80211: count interfaces correctly for combination checks

From: Andrei Otcheretianski <andrei.otcheretianski@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 0f611d28fc2e13cfec64e1c544c16a086886805a ]

Since moving the interface combination checks to mac80211, it's
broken because it now only considers interfaces with an assigned
channel context, so for example any interface that isn't active
can still be up, which is clearly an issue; also, in particular
P2P-Device wdevs are an issue since they never have a chanctx.

Fix this by counting running interfaces instead the ones with a
channel context assigned.
