Keep existing wdev when creating new nl80211 interfaces if phy and
type match, delete it otherwise.
To make this work, also remove left-over debugging function which
prevented the return-value of the 'iw' command to be taken into
account in mac80211_iw_interface_add().
As 4addr-mode (WDS) was setup during interface creation for station
interfaces, also set it after interface creation to make sure an
existing sta interface ends up with the right mode.
