mac80211: remove iwlwifi specific workaround that broke sta NDP tx

commit e41eb3e408de27982a5f8f50b2dd8002bed96908 upstream.

Sending nulldata packets is important for sw AP link probing and detecting
4-address mode links. The checks that dropped these packets were apparently
added to work around an iwlwifi firmware bug with multi-TID aggregation.

Fixes: 41cbb0f5a295 ("mac80211: add support for HE")
