[PATCH] nl80211: Do not assume the device is rf-killed before trying to set it up

[Tomasz Bursztyka]

This fixes a regression which is assuming that since the general rf-kill
status is on, all devices are rf-killed. This rule is actually not true
since this rf-kill status is not per-device specific and the actual
device might not be rf-killed though users are prevented to use it due
to that logic.

The kernel knows better which device is rf-killed or not, and will check
its status properly when it tries to set it up (or "start" it for P2P).
Thus it's better to rely on the kernel's returned code as it used to be.
