[ Upstream commit 950b43f8bd8a4d476d2da6d2a083a89bcd3c90d7 ]

When the interface is brought up in monitor mode, it leads
to NULL pointer dereference crash. This crash happens when
the packet type is extracted for a SKB. This extraction
which is present in the received msdu delivery path,is
not needed for the monitor ring packets since they are
all RAW packets. Hence appending the flags with
"RX_FLAG_ONLY_MONITOR" to skip that extraction.

Observed calltrace:
