wifi: cfg80211: Drop unused link stats handling in nl80211_send_station()

Browse source

Remove the link level statistics handling from
nl80211_send_station() and drop the unused link_stats parameter
from its signature and callers. The removed code iterated over
each MLO link and attempted to send link specific station data
through NL80211_ATTR_MLO_LINKS, but this logic was never used
because link_stats was always false.

This logic was introduced during early work on link level station
statistics with the intention of reporting information for each
link. Due to message size concerns when a station has multiple
links, the feature was disabled behind the link_stats flag and
remained unused.

The link level reporting block in nl80211_send_station() is dead
code and cannot support larger messages, so remove it. This
cleanup also prepares for proper link level statistics reporting
in nl80211_dump_station() in a later patch, where fragmentation
allows safe transmission of multi link data.

Also fix label indentation: the nla_put_failure label had an
erroneous leading space.
