PATCH 1/1 cfg80211/mac80211: make ieee80211_send_layer2_update a public function

Make ieee80211_send_layer2_update() a common function so other drivers can re-use it.
Add support in wil6210 to send L2UF on behalf of newly associated station by calling the common function.

Applied, but without the wil6210 support - please make a separate patch for that. I also stripped the Change-Id :)
