    LinuxKPI: 802.11: improve lladdr change to not use ifnet internals
    
    The changes from 4aff4048 were based on net80211 which is still using
    if_private.h details.  Adjust the code to no longer depend on internal
    details of ifnet.  We also switch the "check"-functionn from if_init to
    if_transmit which we can query.  Given we do have a per-vif eventhandler
    we could do without that check but would still need to check
    if_getflags() for IFF_UP.
