mac80211: remove iwlwifi specific workaround that broke sta NDP tx

Browse source

commit e41eb3e408 upstream.

Sending nulldata packets is important for sw AP link probing and detecting
4-address mode links. The checks that dropped these packets were apparently
added to work around an iwlwifi firmware bug with multi-TID aggregation.
