wifi: mac80211: cleanup error path of ieee80211_do_open
If we failed on drv_start, we currently cleanup AP_VLAN reference to bss. But this is not needed, since AP_VLAN must be tied to a pre-existing AP interface, so open_count cannot be 0, so we will never call drv_start for AP_VLAN interfaces. Remove these cleanup and return immediately instead.
