[PATCH 1/2] hostapd: fix dpp_listen in dpp responder scenario

From: Michal Kazior <michal at plume.com>

Some time ago it was found some drivers are
setting their hw/ucode rx filters restrictively
enough to prevent DPP multicast frames from being
delivered.

A set of patches was introduced to the kernel and
ath9k driver as well as hostapd, eg.

  a39e9af90 ("nl80211: DPP listen mode callback")
  4d2ec436e ("DPP: Add driver operation for enabling/disabling listen mode")

The hostapd code itself was not calling the new
multicast registration. As such the AP side of
things wasn't working as expected in some
scenarios.

I've found this while trying to get ath9k working
as an AP Responder/Configurator.

The problem wasn't seen on, eg. mac80211 hwsim
driver.
