mac80211: ath12k: backport correctly handle mcast packets

Backport upstream commit that fixes handling of multicast packets.
Without this patch, ARP resolution fails, and connectivity from a
station to an AP does not work reliably until traffic is initiated
by the AP.

+Subject: [PATCH] wifi: ath12k: correctly handle mcast packets for clients
+
+commit 4541b0c8c3c1b85564971d497224e57cf8076a02 upstream.
+
+Currently, RX is_mcbc bit is set for packets sent from client as
+destination address (DA) is multicast/broadcast address, but packets
+are actually unicast as receiver address (RA) is not multicast address.
+Hence, packets are not handled properly due to this is_mcbc bit.
+
+Therefore, reset the is_mcbc bit if interface type is AP.
+
+Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.4.1-00199-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
