nl80211: Do not change type to station on P2P interfaces

It is possible that when trying to remove a dynamically added interface,
changing its type to station mode is not possible (since the kernel does
not support so in its interface combinations).

Since P2P interfaces are always dynamically added, avoid changing their
type to station in the deinit_ap() and deinit_p2p_client() nl80211
callbacks, assuming that the interface is about to be removed.
