wifi: mac80211: change public RX API to use link stations

Browse source 
If a station is passed then the link ID also needs to be known. As such,
it is a more natural API to simply pass the link station directly rather
than pushing the link information into the RX status.

Furthermore, having the link ID in the RX status is not actually correct
because the link IDs are VIF specific and there may be multiple VIFs. In
the case of a station this relationship is clear, but then one may as
well use the link station.

This patch only changes the API and emulates the old (incorrect)
behaviour for now. The mac80211 RX code will be updated in later
patches.
