Subject: mac80211: filter locally-originated multicast frames

patch b331615722779b078822988843ddffd4eaec9f83 in mainline.

In STA mode, the AP will echo our traffic.  This includes multicast
traffic.

Receiving these frames confuses some protocols and applications,
notably IPv6 Duplicate Address Detection.
