This is a fix for that. Alternatively, I see that the OLPC version uses
dev->driver_data in lbs_get_rtap(), having set it in if_usb.c. I don't
really like either approach very much.

What was wrong with 'iwconfig eth1 mode monitor', anyway?

I can't bring rtap0 up at all...
	[root at efika ~]# ip link set rtap0 up                                            
	SIOCSIFFLAGS: Invalid argument

    libertas: fix lbs_rtap attribute in sysfs
    
    At least it doesn't oops when you attempt to read or write it now.
    Only when you enable it and then later turn it off. And when it's
    enabled I don't see how it actually works.
    
    But one fewer oops is good, for now...
