[PATCH 05/16] hostapd: MLO: assign link ID during BSS creation

Currently, link ID is assigned when BSS is going to set up either
via driver init. Later if interface is disabled and enabled again,
it will again call setup BSS which will give a new link ID to it.
However, Link ID should be same for a BSS affliated to a MLD until
the lifetime of the BSS.

Hence, add change to assign the link ID during BSS creation itself.
And it will remain until BSS entry is completely freed. Hence, link
ID will not change as part of disable/enable.

Also, since link ID would be decided now, it will help in creating
link level control sockets in a subsequent patch.
