During management Tx, when source address is same as one of the link conf's
address and even when userspace requested Tx on a specific link, link ID
is not set. Now if MLD address is also same as that of the link address,
then mac80211 fills link as unspecified. Due to this, later in driver, the
channel context is fetched from vif->bss_conf instead of link's conf which
in turn gives channel as NULL and hence as a result, the packet is
ultimately dropped.

Add changes to use the same link id and set it if the link bss is matching
the requested channel. This will prevent the packet from getting dropped.
