This seems to break the hwsim test case
eht_mld_sae_two_links_disable_enable in my test setup. The RECONNECT
command after having restarted the AP MLD seems to result in the
Authentication frames not being received (no ACK) by the AP MLD. Those
frames seem to be being sent to the old link addressed of the AP MLD and
not the ones that were assigned when restarting it.

I'm not completely sure what is causing the issue and why exactly this
change triggers this. In any case, I cannot apply this as-is without
getting whatever else might be behind this addressed.
