wifi: mac80211: fix erroneous errors for STA changes
When e.g. wpa_supplicant sets only the MLD "sta" authorized state, the code actually applies that change, but then returns an error to userspace anyway because there were no changes to the link station, and no link ID was given. However, it's not incorrect to not have a link ID when wanting to change only the MLD peer ("sta") state, so the code shouldn't require it. To fix this, separate the "new_link" argument out into a new three-state enum, because if modify is called on a link STA only, it should return an error if no link is given or if it doesn't exist. For modify on the MLD "sta", not having a link ID is OK, but if there is one it should be validated. This seems to not have mattered much as wpa_supplicant just prints a message and continues, and the authorized state was already set before this error return. However, in the later code powersave recalculation etc. will be skipped, so that it may result in never allowing powersave on MLO connections.
