mac80211: fix power saving clients handling in iwlwifi
iwlwifi now supports RSS and can't let mac80211 track the PS state based on the Rx frames since they can come out of order. iwlwifi is now advertising AP_LINK_PS, and uses explicit notifications to teach mac80211 about the PS state of the stations and the PS poll / uAPSD trigger frames coming our way from the peers. Because of that, the TIM stopped being maintained in mac80211. I tried to fix this in commit c68df2e7be0c ("mac80211: allow using AP_LINK_PS with mac80211-generated TIM IE") but that was later reverted by Felix in commit 6c18a6b4e799 ("Revert "mac80211: allow using AP_LINK_PS with mac80211-generated TIM IE") since it broke drivers that do not implement set_tim. Since none of the drivers that set AP_LINK_PS have the set_tim() handler set besides iwlwifi, I can bail out in __sta_info_recalc_tim if AP_LINK_PS AND .set_tim is not implemented.
