d80211: Fix ieee80211_ptr check

dev->ieee80211_ptr can no longer be directly compared to check if a virtual
interface belongs to a master device.

Hm, apparently the regexp I tried when resolving conflicts with John's
tree wasn't good enough to catch this :-(

Let's hope there are no more such things left.

Thanks for finding this,

No, that's an error I made.

I doubt it. I should have remembered this special case but forgot about
it. The thing is that in earlier wiphy versions I had ieee80211_ptr
point to the wiphy directly so I *intentionally* kept the comparison
like that when reviewing all uses of ieee80211_ptr. When I realised that
we need per-netdev wireless state I put that behind ieee80211_ptr and
then forgot to update this spot.
