Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: allocate TXQs for active monitor interfaces
Monitor mode interfaces with the active flag are passed down to the driver.
Drivers using TXQ expect that all interfaces have allocated TXQs before
they get added.
Fixes: 79af1f866193d ("mac80211: avoid allocating TXQs that won't be used")
