cache->vlan_id.tagged is an array (int tagged[32]), the current code
gets its address; not the cache->vlan_id.tagged[0] value or any other
int for that matter.

This would break the build with -Werror:

../src/ap/ieee802_11_auth.c: In function ‘hostapd_acl_recv_radius’:
../src/ap/ieee802_11_auth.c:572:10: error: assignment from incompatible pointer type [-Werror]
   tagged = &cache->vlan_id.tagged;


The current cache->vlan_id.tagged here is already getting the correct
pointer to the first entry in the array, i.e., it has the same value as
&cache->vlan_id.tagged[0]. While getting the address of the array with &
would have the same address value, it would have different type and
that's not what we want here.
