    This reverts commit ee1f6681.
    
    The aformentioned commit added a check to allow
    'iw wlan0 set power_save off' to work for mesh interfaces.
    
    However, this is problematic because it also allows
    'iw wlan0 set power_save on', which will crash in short order
    because all of the subsequent code manipulates sdata->u.mgd.
    
    The power-saving states for mesh interfaces can be manipulated
    through the mesh config, e.g:
    'iw wlan0 set mesh_param mesh_power_save=active' (which,
    despite the name, actualy disables power saving since the
    setting refers to the type of sleep the interface undergoes).
