Without this patch, broadcast frames from the station behind a
4-addr AP VLAN would be reflected back to the source.
Fix this by checking the 4-addr flag before bridging multicast
frames in the cell.

I hadn't noticed that v2 of my mac80211 4-addr patch had been
merged already, so here's the fix from v3 as a separate patch
