[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] hostapd: remove support for Realtek drivers

[Alexander Mukhin]

After hostapd update to 2.9, the patch provided no longer works,
although applies. Moreover, AP support for Realtek chips is broken
anyway in kernels > 4.9.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] hostapd: remove support for Realtek drivers

The commit title prefix should have been "package/hostapd", and also
when removing an option, it must be added in Config.in.legacy. I fixed
both issues and applied to master.

Thanks!
