mac80211: check that ieee80211_set_power_mgmt only handles STA interfaces.

Browse Source 
ieee80211_set_power_mgmt is meant for STA interfaces only. Moreover,
since sdata->u.mgd.mtx is only initialized for STA interfaces, using
this code for any other type of interface (like creating a monitor
interface) will result in a oops.
