nl80211: does not allow NEW_STATION and DEL_STATION for mesh

As discussed in linux-wireless mailing list, adding and removing
stations for mesh topologies is not necessary. Since doing it triggers
bugs, the sugestion was to simply disable it.

Tested using a custom iw command "station new". Works only after using
hostapd. "station del" command also works.
