Subject: [PATCH] rt2x00: error in configurations with mesh support disabled

commit 6ef9e2f6d12ce9e2120916804d2ddd46b954a70b upstream.

Backported for 3.4-stable. Removed code of simultaneous AP and mesh
mode added in 4a5fc6d 3.9-rc1.

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd at openwrt.org>

If CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH is not set, cfg80211 will now allow advertising
interface combinations with NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT present.
Add appropriate ifdefs to avoid running into errors.
