wifi: mac80211: do not use old MBSSID elements
When userspace brings down and deletes a non-transmitted profile,
it is expected to send a new updated Beacon template for the
transmitted profile of that multiple BSSID (MBSSID) group which
does not include the removed profile in MBSSID element. This
update comes via NL80211_CMD_SET_BEACON.
Such updates work well as long as the group continues to have at
least one non-transmitted profile as NL80211_ATTR_MBSSID_ELEMS
is included in the new Beacon template.
But when the last non-trasmitted profile is removed, it still
gets included in Beacon templates sent to driver. This happens
because when no MBSSID elements are sent by the userspace,
ieee80211_assign_beacon() ends up using the element stored from
earlier Beacon template.
Do not copy old MBSSID elements, instead userspace should always
include these when applicable.
