nl80211: fix old station flags compatibility
My patch to validate station flags broke compatibility with the old station flags setting where all flags are always set at once since it always set the mask as all possible flags which ended up being rejected later in the station add/modify code. Fix by parsing only the current flags in the old flags attribute -- new applications and new flags should use (and will now require) the new flags attribute where the mask is given by the application.
