Removing the last link of an MLD interface leaves the firmware with the
MLD BSS and DEV entry: the removal loop skips the deflink, and the
hweight16(mvif->valid_links) fallback reads the stale pre-update
valid_links, which is still non-zero. The entry keeps the per-link MAC
address, so every subsequent legacy association fails authentication
until the interface is removed or the module is reloaded.
Remove the deflink BSS and add it back as a legacy BSS on the transition
to zero links.
