nl80211: Fix use_monitor driver capability for non-mac80211 drivers

Browse source 
Poll command may be enough for mac80211 to figure out whether monitor
interface is to be used, but this change did not take into account
non-mac80211 drivers that support AP mode without monitor interface.
For example, ath6kl needs to get use_monitor disabled.
