Promiscuous mode is enabled when wlan interface is added to
bridge. ath10k creates a monitor mode when promiscuous mode
is enabled. When monitor vdev is runing along with other
vdev(s) there is a huge number of interrupts generated
especially in noisy condition. Fix this by not enabling
promiscuous(monitor) mode when already a vdev is running.
This does not change the support of virtual interface of
type monitor along with other vdevs.

The entire logic should go to ath10k_monitor_recalc().

Also I'm pretty sure this breaks 4addr station briding for main 636
fw. I can't fully test this now though (there seems to be a regression
against fw 636 and it keeps crashing with monitor vdev over and over
again).

Ok. Can we make this change specific to non-sta mode?.
