Subject: [RFC] mac80211: Process multicast RX registration for Public Action frames

Convert a user space registration for processing multicast frames
(NL80211_CMD_REGISTER_FRAME with NL80211_ATTR_RECEIVE_MULTICAST) to a
new enum ieee80211_filter_flags bit FIF_MCAST_PUBLIC_ACTION so that
drivers can update the RX filter parameters appropriately, if needed.

Since this is pretty specific ("multicast Public Action"), ...

Maybe that should be a bit more specific and select only action subtype?

I guess I'd kinda prefer to document action, not just public action too,
since that's the granularity we have in the API now? I mean, public
action may be all we need now, but ...
