Subject: mac80211: send AP probe as unicast again

From: Johannes Berg <[email protected]>

commit a73f8e21f3f93159bc19e154e8f50891c22c11db upstream.

Louis reported that a static checker was complaining that the 'dst' variable was set (multiple times) but not used. This is due to a previous commit having removed the usage (apparently erroneously), so add it back.

Fixes a344d6778a98 ("mac80211: allow drivers to support NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_RANDOM_ADDR")
