hostapd: Remove insane logic that some MAC addresses are not allowed

Browse Source 
This is described on the internet as:
"If you are unlucky and have a device with wrong MAC address,
too bad"

For us: We set mac addresses static, and do not use hostapds, insane
MAC address allocation (radio MAC + n).
