[PATCH 1/4] mac80211: optimise monitor xmit

[Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>]

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Since the only way the interface can be a monitor
interface in ieee80211_xmit() is because the frame
came from ieee80211_monitor_start_xmit() we can
move all the code there.
