hostapd: backport ignoring 4addr mode enabling error
This is a backport of the upstream commit 58bbbb598144 ("nl80211: Ignore 4addr mode enabling error if it was already enabled"). nl80211_set_4addr_mode() could fail when trying to enable 4addr mode on an interface that is in a bridge and has 4addr mode already enabled. This operation would not have been necessary in the first place and this failure results in disconnecting, e.g., when roaming from one backhaul BSS to another BSS with Multi AP. Avoid this issue by ignoring the nl80211 command failure in the case where 4addr mode is being enabled while it has already been enabled.

+Subject: [PATCH] nl80211: Ignore 4addr mode enabling error if it was already
+ enabled
+
+nl80211_set_4addr_mode() could fail when trying to enable 4addr mode on
+an interface that is in a bridge and has 4addr mode already enabled.
+This operation would not have been necessary in the first place and this
+failure results in disconnecting, e.g., when roaming from one backhaul
+BSS to another BSS with Multi AP.
+
+Avoid this issue by ignoring the nl80211 command failure in the case
+where 4addr mode is being enabled while it has already been enabled.
