[PATCH] hostapd: don't try setting the generic IE to the kernel

[Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>]

We have no mac80211 drivers that generate beacons themselves
and would require this, and we also have no way to support such
drivers currently. Hence, it seems we should remove this to
decrease the confusion. Since the generic hostapd code actually
requires a positive result though we cannot just remove the
implementation. The same information is put into the beacon,
however.
